Description: Hydraulic fracturing (hydrofracking) has enabled recovery of natural gas and oil embedded in low permeability reservoirs. Despite its advancement in significant recovery of hydrocarbons not previously accessible from low permeability reservoirs, understanding the particle interactions and injected fluid retraction is lacking. The goal of this project is to investigate fluid dynamics of the… more
