Hydraulic tomography for detecting fracture zone connectivity.
Fracture zones and their connectivity in geologic media are of great importance to ground water resources management as well as ground water contamination prevention and remediation. In this paper, we applied a recently developed hydraulic tomography (HT) technique and an analysis algorithm (sequential successive linear estimator) to synthetic fractured media. The application aims to explore th...
متن کاملInitiation and Breakdown of an Axisymmetric Hydraulic Fracture Transverse to a Horizontal Wellbore
We investigate the initiation and early-stage propagation of an axi-symmetric hydraulic fracture from a wellbore drilled in the direction of the minimum principal stress in an elastic and impermeable formation. Such a configuration is akin to the case of a horizontal well and a hydraulic fracture transverse to the well axis in an open hole completion. In addition to the effect of the wellbore o...
متن کاملHydraulic fracture during epithelial stretching
The origin of fracture in epithelial cell sheets subject to stretch is commonly attributed to excess tension in the cells' cytoskeleton, in the plasma membrane, or in cell-cell contacts. Here, we demonstrate that for a variety of synthetic and physiological hydrogel substrates the formation of epithelial cracks is caused by tissue stretching independently of epithelial tension. We show that the...
متن کاملEffects of Hip Geometry on Fracture Patterns of Proximal Femur
Background: Some studies have previously shown that geometry of proximal femur can affect the probability of fracture and type of fracture. It happens since the geometry of the proximal femur determines how a force is applied to its different parts. In this study, we have compared proximal femur’s geometric characteristics in femoral neck (FNF), intertrochanteric (ITF) and Subtrochanteric (ST...
متن کاملFracture Dispersion Effects in Tracer Analysis
Hydraulic dispersion in porous media and in fracture networks results in the spreading of the timedependent tracer signal. In geothermal reservoirs the wellbore often intersects fractures that are separated by tens or even hundreds of meters. The mixing in the wellbore at those separated fractures is also a source of dispersion, since tracer signals sampled at the wellhead are a mixture of the ...
