Finite domain solution of a KGD hydraulic fracture in the viscosity-dominated regime

Finite domain solution of a KGD hydraulic fracture in the viscosity-dominated regime

This paper describes a numerical algorithm for solving the classic problem of a plane strain (KGD) fracture propagating in an impermeable elastic medium with zero toughness. The method, which takes advantage of the self-similar nature of the solution, combines a domain-based scheme to solve the elas...
