A New Dynamical Index for India-Burma Trough by Kui Liu, Jinlin Zha, Ruowen Yang, Jilong Chen

“…IIBT can also well reveal the relationship between the India-Burma trough and its upstream teleconnection. What is more, through a correlation analysis on the grid point precipitation field, respectively, with the IIBT and the India-Burma trough indices defined with vorticity and geopotential height, over southern Asia the correlation pattern between the IIBT and the precipitation field is found to nearly be the sum of the correlation patterns of the latter 2 indices with the precipitation. …”

Investigation of Fracture Width Change under Closure Pressure in Unconventional Reservoir Based on the Hertz Contact Theory by Lifei Dong, Di Wang, Fengxia Li, Xinye Fu, Miao Wang

“…Furthermore, the experimental cases with different proppant sizes are taken to verify the model, and the good conformity presents its rationality. The parameter sensitivity analysis of this model shows that the fracture width change increases with the increase of the average diameters of proppants (D) and it declines with the improving of proppant elasticity modulus (E1) and Poisson’s ratio (v1).…”
