← ScienceWhich outcome increases as hydraulic fracturing fluid injection enters turbulent flow?
A)Erosion within the fracture network✓
B)Fluid density near the injection point
C)Pore pressure near stratum interface
D)Viscosity of fracturing fluid utilized
💡 Explanation
Erosion increases in hydraulic fracturing because turbulent flow causes increased shear stress; the Reynolds number surpasses a critical value, therefore more energy dissipates into rock erosion, rather than maintaining consistent flow.
