Fracture geometry (acidizing)

Input(s)

i/h: Injection Rate per unit of Fracture Height \(\left(\mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{s}\right)\)

\(\mu\) : Fluid Viscosity \((\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m} \mathrm{s})\)

E: Young's Modulus \(\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)\)

L: Fracture Length \((\mathrm{m})\)

Output(s)

\(W_{w}\): Fracture width at the Wellbore (m)

Formula(s)

\[ \frac{W_{w}}{L} \approx\left(\frac{\mu i}{E h L^{2}}\right)^{0.25} \]
