Abstract:In various subsurface resource development or fluid piping problems, subsurface fluid-filled fractures often appear. Fracture location determination has always been critical in related fields. Acoustic wave reflection at the junction and boundary in the pipeline can carry information about the property of the system. By using the accompanying acoustic wave combined with the water hammer effect, the location of subsurface fractures can be estimated. A numerical fluid flow model for instantaneous shut-in is pres… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
