Experimental Study on Vertical Propagation Behavior of Hydraulic Fracture Affected by Artificial Interlayer for Thick Oil Reservoirs by Beibei Chen, Yingmin Qin, Peng Xu, Weijie Zheng, Min Zhang, Yan Peng

“…The experimental data shows that the artificial interlayer can significantly decrease the hydraulic fracture height and the corresponding decrease magnitude of hydraulic fracture height depends on the thickness of artificial interlayer, proppant size, and fracture fluid pumping rate. The dominant mechanism of artificial interlayer restricting hydraulic fracture height is that the drop of fluid pressure induced by the artificial interlayer decreases the stress intensity factor at fracture tip. …”

Effective Resistivity in Relativistic Reconnection: A Prescription Based on Fully Kinetic Simulations by Abigail Moran, Lorenzo Sironi, Aviad Levis, Bart Ripperda, Elias R. Most, Sebastiaan Selvi

“…A variety of high-energy astrophysical phenomena are powered by the release—via magnetic reconnection—of the energy stored in oppositely directed fields. Single-fluid resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations with uniform resistivity yield dissipation rates that are much lower (by nearly 1 order of magnitude) than equivalent kinetic calculations. …”
