Abstract

Under computational investigation is the process of sequential growth of hydrofractures under conditions of plane strain. The working fluid is perfect and viscous. The authors analyze influence exerted on parameters and trajectories of growing fractures by spacing of the fractures, external compression field, fluid flow rate, fluid viscosity and leakage flow rate.
