Abstract
A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the magnitude of laminar flow interference effects at fracture intersections. Circular conduits were used in these experiments to maintain strict dimensional tolerance, and the intersection head loss, if expressed in terms of equivalent length of straight conduit, should be the same order of magnitude for a circular pipe as for a parallel plate fracture model. The results indicate that interference effects at intersections are negligibly small in most fracture systems when flow is in the laminar regime.
