Mudcake growth equation 2 - Formation invasion
Input(s)
\(\varnothing_{\text {eff: }} \quad\) Effective Porosity (fraction)
\(f_{s}\): Mud Solid Fraction (fraction)
\(\varnothing_{c}\): Mudcake Porosity (fraction)
\(x_{f}\): Transient Invasion Front (in.)
\(x_{f, o}\): Initial Displacement, i.e., Spurt (in.)
Output(s)
\(x_{c}(t)\): Mudcake Growth by time (in./s)
Formula(s)
\[
x_{c}(t)=\left[\varnothing_{e f f} f_{s} /\left\{\left(1-\varnothing_{c}\right)\left(1-f_{s}\right)\right\}\right]\left(x_{f}-x_{f, o}\right)
\]
