Fracture width (GDK method)

Input(s)

Q: Flow Rate (B/m)(\mathrm{B} / \mathrm{m})

G: Shear Modulus (psi)

μ\mu: Viscosity (cP)(\mathrm{cP})

L: Length (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

H\mathrm{H}: Height (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

Output(s)

w: Fracture Width (in.)

Formula(s)

w=0.272(μQL2GH)0.25\mathrm{w}=0.272 *\left(\mu * \mathrm{Q}_{*} \frac{\mathrm{L}^{2}}{\mathrm{G}_{*} \mathrm{H}}\right)^{0.25}
