Abstract
In some aspects, a one-dimensional proppant transport flow model represents flow of a proppant-fluid mixture in a subterranean region. The one-dimensional proppant transport flow model includes a fluid momentum conservation model and a proppant bed momentum conservation model that account for viscoelastic effects of the proppant-fluid mixture. The one-dimensional proppant transport flow model may also include a proppant momentum conservation model. In some cases the one-dimensional proppant transport flow model may account for any of settling and resuspension of a proppant bed and interphase momentum transfer between the proppant, proppant bed, and the fluid.
