← ScienceWhich consequence results when fluid viscosity shifts the solution away from Euler's equations for potential flows in hydraulic fracking?
A)Enhanced zonal isolation effectiveness afterwards
B)Increased proppant transport uniformity afterwards
C)Diminished fracture network complexity overall✓
D)Reduced pressure gradients near wellbore
💡 Explanation
Diminished fracture network complexity occurs, because deviation from Euler's equation towards viscous flow initiates viscous fingering rather than sharp fracture propagation; therefore, rather than homogeneous fracture growth, limited channels develop because viscosity dominates the flow.
