Fracture volume (GDK method)
Input(s)
Q: Flow Rate \((\mathrm{B} / \mathrm{m})\)
\(\mu\): Viscosity \((\mathrm{cP})\)
L: Length \((\mathrm{ft})\)
\(\mathrm{H}\): Height \((\mathrm{ft})\)
G: Shear Modulus (psi)
Output(s)
\(V_{f}\): Fracture Volume \(\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)\)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{f}}=0.03561 *\left(\mu_{*} \mathrm{Q} * \mathrm{~L}^{6} * \frac{\mathrm{H}^{3}}{\mathrm{G}}\right)^{0.25}
\]
