Abstract:The impact of fluid inertia on fracture flow dynamics, particularly under high-velocity conditions, has emerged as a critical consideration in petroleum engineering and related fields. This review paper investigates the profound effects of inertia-dominated nonlinear flow, a phenomenon increasingly recognised for its significant influence on fluid dynamics in rock fractures. Given the prevalence and importance of such flows in field applications, neglecting fluid inertial effects is no longer justifiable. A co… Show more
