Axial Green Function Method in an Efficient Projection Scheme for Incompressible Navier–Stokes Flow in Arbitrary Domains

We introduce a new approach to solving incompressible Navier–Stokes flow. This method combines a projection scheme with the Axial Green Function Method (AGM). Based on the Kim and Moin methods, our methodology employs a predictor–corrector mechanism to achieve stable and accurate velocity corrections. Using axial Green functions, we transform complex differential equations into simpler one-dimensional integral equations. These are strategically placed along a minimal axis-parallel lines, known as axial lines, within the flow domain. This transformation makes computation and analysis more efficient from a numerical viewpoint. A significant innovation in our approach is using one-dimensional axial Green functions tailored explicitly for the reaction–diffusion ordinary differential operator. These functions efficiently handle the discrete-time derivative and viscous terms of the momentum equation. Furthermore, our approach allows for the arbitrary construction of axis-parallel lines, facilitating analysis near critical flow regions and even enabling the random distribution of these lines. We validate our proposed method through numerical examples, demonstrating the convergence of numerical solutions, the effectiveness of arbitrarily constructed axis-parallel lines, and the potential extension of our method to three-dimensional flow problems. Additionally, this study provides a robust and adaptable alternative way to solve incompressible Navier–Stokes flows, proving its effectiveness in practical applications such as Tesla valves.

Study of fluid-elastic instability of the spatially bent tube structure in fast reactor intermediate heat exchanger

This study conducts a numerical simulation investigation on the flow field characteristics and fluid-elastic instability of the spatially bent tube structure in the intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) of a fast reactor. The inherent frequencies of the unique structure of the IHX spatially bent tube are calculated by using the wet modal method. They are employing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in conjunction with a fluid-structure coupling model, establishing an elastic tube model. Considering the bundle concentric circles arrangement, the “transition” arrangement is selected as the model to simulate the fluid-elastic instability. By the analysis of critical flow velocity, displacement, and the main vibration direction, the results indicate that the fluid-elastic instability of the tube bundle with a transition arrangement is mainly manifested by more severe vibrations in the bent tube segment. The instability flow velocity in the straight tube segment, ranging from 4.64 to 4.84 m/s, is greater than the instability flow velocity of 2.85 m/s in the bent tube segment. This study provides theoretical support for the design and operation of the intermediate heat exchanger in fast reactors, offering references for considering tube bundle arrangement and fluid-elastic instability in engineering practice.

The Measured Flow at the Inlet of a Francis Turbine Runner Operating in Speed No-Load Condition

Abstract For Francis turbines, speed-no-load (SNL) represents one of the most detrimental operating conditions, marked by significant pressure and strain fluctuations on the runner. Mitigating these fluctuations necessitates a comprehensive understanding and characterization of the flow phenomena responsible for their generation. This paper presents an experimental investigation of the flow at the inlet of a Francis turbine runner model operating in speed-no-load condition using high-speed stereoscopic and endoscopic particle image velocimetry (PIV). The measurements are made in a radial-azimuthal plane that covers the vaneless space and a large region in the interblade channel. This study marks the first-time measurement of critical flow phenomena at this operating point, performed in the runner. Instantaneous and average velocity fields are analyzed, along with other statistical data. The results not only confirm the stochastic nature of the flow at speed-no-load but also highlight the general structure of the flow observed in other studies. The high velocity fluctuations on the suction side are associated with a backflow extending into the vaneless space and a circulation zone occasionally generated by this backflow. Both phenomena are frequently present, but fluctuate stochastically. Additionally, two other circulation zones intermittently form on the pressure side of the blades. The presence of vortices, smaller than the circulation zones, near the blade's leading edge correlates with the backflow intensity.

Improved Prediction of the Flow in Cylindrical Critical Flow Venturi Nozzles Using a Transitional Model

Critical flow Venturi nozzles (CFVNs) are a state-of-the-art secondary standard widely used for gas flow measurements with high precision. The flow rate correlates with the type and thickness of the boundary layer (BL) inside the nozzle throat. In the cylindrical type—one of the two standard designs of CFVNs—the nozzle throat encompasses a defined axial length in which the BL develops. This numerical study is concerned with the BL effects in a cylindrical CFVN by means of two turbulence models. Compared to experimental data, the k-ω\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\\omega$$\\end{document} SST model predicts the discharge coefficient well for high and low Reynolds numbers, but not in the intermediate regime.

Relevant quantities and profiles of the BL are separately investigated in the laminar, turbulent, and transitional region. The calculated laminar and turbulent BL thicknesses correspond to predictions based on integral methods for solving the BL equations. Simple representations are proposed for the Zagarola-Smits scaled laminar and turbulent deficit BL profiles removing the effects of axial position, Reynolds number, and pressure gradient. Furthermore, the shape factor is investigated as a characteristic parameter for determining the transitional region.

Experimental and model research on judging liquid accumulation in pipelines under the action of surfactant

Foam drainage gas extraction is applied in various natural gas extraction scenarios, such as water-bearing gas wells, gas fields with high water content, and wet natural gas pipeline transport, with the goal of enhancing extraction efficiency and lowering production costs. A common issue in foam-carrying liquid gas wells and wet natural gas pipelines is the large errors observed in the prediction model for liquid accumulation onset, derived using ellipsoidal droplets. Additionally, this model is only applicable to a single surfactant type and concentration. To investigate the effects of different types and concentrations of surfactants on the onset of liquid accumulation. This paper re-establishes the critical foam-carrying flow rate model for spherical cap-shaped foam droplets using Newton's laws of motion, through an analysis of their motion state within the air core. Through the critical foam-carrying flow rate test experiments and foam droplet deformation test experiments to obtain critical foam-carrying flow rate model in the surface tension, foam density, Weber number, drag coefficient and other parameters of the change rule and calculation method. The model's validity was further confirmed using field-measured production data from foam-carrying liquid gas wells, demonstrating accurate validation results. Compared to the previous model, this new model treats foam droplets as spherical cap-shape and introduces a dimensionless scaling factor and foaming capacity to quantify the impact of surfactant types and concentrations on foam droplet surface tension and density. This enhances the model's applicability across different types and concentrations of surfactants with greater accuracy. This offers an efficient, precise, and versatile method for predicting liquid accumulation in foam-carrying liquid gas fields, thereby enhancing the efficiency and safety of gas extraction.

Stability and nonlinear vibration characteristics of cantilevered fluid-conveying pipe with nonlinear energy sink

Considering the midline non-expansion theory and nonlinear coordinate method, this paper mainly investigates the stability and nonlinear vibration characteristics of cantilevered fluid-conveying pipe with energy sink. Based on Hamilton 's variational principle, the dynamic equation of a cantilevered pipe conveying fluid with nonlinear energy sink (NES) under pulsating flow is established. The system equation is processed by Galerkin method, a novel matrix equations of single-degree-of-freedom and multi-degree-of-freedom coupling system is established. The results show that the physical factors in the flow pipe system have a great influence on the critical flow velocity of the whole system, comparing with the case of adding NES. Increasing the proportion of the mass of the fluid will have a greater impact on the real part frequency, thereby increasing the critical velocity of the fluid-conveying pipe system. Addition of nonlinear energy sink can significantly suppress the amplitude and decrease the unstable vibration of the pipe.

Analysis of Dyonic ModMax black hole through accretion disk

In the present study, we probe the geodesic motion and accretion of particles around the spherically symmetric Dyonic ModMax black hole using isothermal fluid. The geodesic motion of the particles around the black hole leads to the formation of disk like structure during the accretion process. We compute the radiant temperature, radioactive efficiency, radiant flux energy, circular orbits and observe the behavior of particles within stable circular orbits in the equatorial plane. We examine how the particles are perturbed during the process by using restoring forces and the oscillatory behavior of the particles surrounding a compact object and also investigate the fluid’s critical flow and maximum accretion rate. Our findings demonstrate how the black hole parameter γ\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\\gamma $$\\end{document} and charge Q affect the circular geodesic of particles as well as the maximum accretion rate of the Dyonic ModMax black hole.

Flow features of a horseshoe tunnel bend

Previous research on bend flow has mainly focused on rectangular channels or circular conduits with small bend radii. This study investigates the dynamics of bend flow in an unexplored geometry: the horseshoe cross-section with large bend radii, a typical configuration in hydraulic tunnels. We examine two critical flow features, energy losses and superelevation, employing theoretical equations and dimensional analysis based on experimental data collected on a physical model of a diversion tunnel. The findings reveal an exponential decrease in the bend loss coefficient with increasing Reynolds numbers and shockwaves within the bend for Froude numbers exceeding 1.945. These findings are relevant in a hydraulic tunnel design with similar features and offer insights to minimize energy losses and maintain stable flow conditions.

Research on the flowback mechanism of fiber-controlled proppant based on fiber strength force

Fiber sand control is widely used on site due to its advantages such as easy operation, significant effects, and low cost. However, the mechanism of fiber control proppant flowback is currently unclear, and the main controlling factors affecting the critical flow velocity are not yet clear. There is a lack of relevant theoretical support to optimize the design of fiber sand control. This article uses composite material theory to analogically calculate the tensile strength of fiber-reinforced sand and friction reinforcement theory to analogically calculate the shear strength of fiber-reinforced sand. The relationship between fiber strength force and tensile strength and shear strength is proposed, combined with the different stress conditions of proppant particles before and after fracture closure, and a fiber-controlled proppant flowback strength model is established based on the force arm balance. The critical velocity of proppant was calculated and compared through the stability experiment of fiber-reinforced proppant filling layer, and the accuracy of the model was verified and the influencing factors were analyzed. The results show that the influence of tensile strength and shear strength on fiber strength at the early stage of fracture closure is 0.2 and 0.8, respectively, and that after fracture closure is 0.1 and 0.9, respectively. The critical velocity calculated by the model is basically consistent with the experimental results. The critical velocity is most affected by the particle size and closure pressure of proppant, followed by the amount of fiber, and the influence of fiber length and diameter is relatively small.

Stability of boulders on cobble streambeds

The placement of boulders in streams enhances aquatic habitat by increasing the heterogeneity of flow conditions. Practical design must ensure the stability of individual boulders, requiring calculation of their incipient movement conditions. The stability of a boulder on a cobble bed is shown experimentally to depend on its size, the bed material size, the degree of embedment of the boulder, the slope of the bed and the flow velocity and depth. An equation is derived through a pivoting analysis for predicting the relationship between the critical ambient depth-averaged velocity and the critical flow depth; this, together with a resistance equation, can be used to predict the flow conditions for boulder stability. The equation is used to develop a simpler form for unsubmerged spherical boulders and cobbles. The stability equation is tested against the experimental data, using an experimentally determined drag coefficient relationship.

Effect of pore structure characteristics on gas-water seepage behaviour in deep carbonate gas reservoirs

The study of gas-water two-phase flow behavior has always been a focus and a difficult problem in the field of oil and gas seepage, and it is related to the formulation of reasonable development plans for oil and gas reservoirs. Deep carbonate gas reservoirs (depth>4500m) develop cross-scale porous media, which have extremely strong heterogeneity and very complex seepage characteristics. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no systematic study on the two-phase flow patterns of gas and water in deep carbonate gas reservoirs. This paper uses cast thin sections, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to study the influence of carbonate rock pore structure characteristics on gas storage and seepage capabilities. The results show that the existence of cavities enhances the gas storage capacity of the reservoir and improves the seepage capacity of pore-throat space near the cavity. Fractures can effectively communicate with isolated cavities, enhance reservoir connectivity, and thereby significantly improve the overall seepage capacity of the reservoir. The centrifugal technique was combined with NMR to study the movable fluid characteristics of carbonate reservoirs. The critical flow throat radius and movable fluid saturation of the reservoir reveal that the degree of development of cavities and fractures determines the mobility of the fluid in the reservoir. The fluid mobility in the fracture-cavity-type reservoir is the strongest, while the fluid mobility in the pore-type reservoir is the weakest. Analysis of the normalized curve of gas-water relative permeability under high temperature and pressure reveals that formation water preferentially enters connected pores with low seepage resistance, and the strong storage capacity of cavities can effectively delay the non-uniform intrusion of formation water. The results of water invasion simulation experiments show that the water invasion phenomenon can improve the gas production rate and recovery rate of pore-type reservoirs. However, the formation water flow and channeling phenomena caused by reservoir heterogeneity will cause a large amount of gas to be sealed in the pore space of cavity-type and fracture-cavity-type reservoirs, reducing the recovery rate and economic benefits of these reservoirs. These findings further provide solid fundamentals for efficient and effective exploitation of deep carbonate gas reservoirs.

Controllable preparation of YSZ-STHS in arc plasma spheroidization: Exploring the plasma flow characteristics' impact on powder quality

Yttria-stabilized zirconia hollow spherical powder (YSZ-HOSP) is a widely utilized ceramic material in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). Within the category of YSZ-HOSP, yttria-stabilized zirconia spherical thin-walled hollow-shell powder (YSZ-STHS) displays immense potential for producing TBCs with minimal inter-lamellar porosity and cracks. Arc plasma torch equipped with flow-shaping nozzle shows promise for preparing YSZ-STHS. However, there is limited research on the impact of the nozzle geometry on plasma flow field characteristics and the resulting effect on the quality of YSZ-HOSP, particularly in terms of spheroidization ratio, hollow-shell powder ratio, and shell thickness. To achieve controllable preparation of YSZ-STHS in arc plasma spheroidization, this paper proposed a novel model for the formation of YSZ-HOSP under different plasma flow characteristics, including high-speed compressing flow field, intermediate-speed critical flow field, and low-speed expanding flow field. These different plasma flow characteristics were achieved by changing the nozzle diameter and investigated by both numerical simulation and experiments in terms of plasma flow characteristics, electro-thermal characteristics, and the quality of the YSZ-HOSP. Results reveal that YSZ-HOSP prepared with high-speed compressing flow field resulted in a low hollow-shell powder ratio, while low-speed expanding flow field led to an over-thick shell. Conversely, the intermediate-speed critical flow field demonstrates relatively high thermal efficiency and enthalpy, along with moderate jet temperature and velocity, resulting in YSZ-STHS with a spheroidization ratio of 96.6 %, a hollow-shell powder ratio of 92.5 %, and a mean shell thickness of 3.49 μm. Therefore, it is evident that manipulating plasma flow characteristics allows for the controlled preparation of YSZ-STHS.

Experimental investigation on local scour downstream of stepped chutes with a flip bucket

Stepped chutes and flip buckets are the most prevalent energy dissipators in emergency spillways at dams. Given the impact that scour depth has on the stability and safety of these structures, the effects of stepped and smooth chutes on the local scour process downstream of a flip bucket for various hydraulic and geometric conditions were experimentally investigated in the present study. Experiments were conducted for 1:1 and 1:2 chute slopes (V: H), bucket exit angles of 15° and 30°, and a ratio of critical flow depth to step height (yc/h) between 0.53 and 0.97. The comparison of results revealed that installing steps over the chute profile reduced the maximum scour depth downstream in range of 15–51 percent, compared to smooth chute. By changing chute slope from 1:1 to 1:2, the maximum scour depth was reduced by an average of 16 and 25 percent for smooth and stepped chutes, respectively.

Flow-driven translocation of polymer vesicle through a nanochannel

Flow-driven translocation of a polymer vesicle self-assembled from amphiphilic diblock copolymers through a nanochannel is studied using hybrid Lattice-Boltzmann Molecular Dynamics simulations. Three translocation modes are discovered: a single vesicle, small vesicles, and tiny micelles in sequence, respectively, as the width of the nanochannel is decreased, which is confirmed by the self-consistent field theory calculations. Accordingly, spherical vesicles, ellipsoidal vesicles, and worm-like micelles are formed sequentially after crossing the nanochannel. More importantly, we find that the critical flow rate monotonically decreases as the ratio of the polymer vesicle size and the width of the nanochannel decreases until it approaches 1. Our results provide a basis for characterizing the stability of vesicles or sorting vesicles with different sizes and also point to a new idea of regulating spherical vesicles to ellipsoidal vesicles or worm-like micelles.

Time-triggered scheduling of mixed-critical flows at end-system in asynchronous AFDX avionic network

Avionics Full-DupleX (AFDX) is a switched Ethernet-based network used in modern commercial airplanes for the transmission of command and control avionics flows. These critical flows require deterministic guarantees leading to a lightly loaded network. Aircraft manufacturers envision to carry additional non avionics flows (i.e. video, audio, service) to take advantage of the spare bandwidth. However, it is then compulsory to preserve the real-time guarantees of avionics flows in terms of bounded jitter at the transmitter output and of bounded end-to-end latency. Depending on the type of additional traffic, Quality of Service (QoS) end-to-end guarantees may be offered to the additional flows of lower criticality in terms of reduced delay or bounded jitter for instance. These guarantees can be ensured by scheduling policies at transmitter and switch level. However, an important safety-related constraint is the asynchronous design of avionics distributed systems that prohibits the use of a network-wide synchronization of end systems and switches. Thus, time-triggered networking such as emerging Time-Triggered Ethernet (TTEthernet) or Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) cannot be leveraged. This paper underlines the benefits of only scheduling flows at the transmitter, which is compatible with the asynchronous safety constraint of avionics systems. We show that it is possible to build a table schedule that carries both critical avionics flows and additional video flows that meet their timing and bandwidth allocation constraints. Therefore, we design scheduling strategies for efficient distribution of flows in the table scheduling whose performance is compared to the optimal schedule minimizing the emission lag of additional flows. Proposed heuristics are constructed such as to favor the network responsiveness for avionics flows thanks to slot over-provisioning. Extensive results on an A350 AFDX industrial configuration show that for a transmitter load of up to 70% of the available bandwidth, the uniform allocation heuristic provides a performance close to optimal in terms of minimum emission lag for additional flows, so offering a practical configuration heuristic to industry.

A Reinforcement Learning-Based Traffic Engineering Algorithm for Enterprise Network Backbone Links

Large enterprise networks typically rely on expensive, high-speed backbone links to connect multiple campuses across diverse regions. As the volume of traffic traversing these backbone links increases, traffic engineering techniques are employed to filter or redirect traffic flows. Nevertheless, simple rerouting strategies can introduce business disruptions such as packet reordering, which significantly impact the user experience. To address this issue, we introduce an enhanced traffic scheduling algorithm named Critical Flow Rerouting with Weight- Reinforcement Learning(CFRW-RL), which builds upon the critical flow rerouting-reinforcement learning (CFR-RL) algorithm. CFRW-RL incorporates the principles of reinforcement learning, accounting for both the weights and classifications of data flows. This approach enables the algorithm to prioritize flows with lower weights for rerouting. The simulation results demonstrate that CFRW-RL significantly minimizes the rerouting of high-priority business flows and reduces business interference compared with the CFR-RL algorithm and that it maintains a similar computational complexity.

Metrology infrastructure for high-pressure gas and liquified hydrogen flows. A brief outline of the MetHyInfra project, measurement challenges, and first results

This paper gives an overview of the ongoing Joint Research Project (JRP) 20IND11 “Metrology infrastructure for high pressure gas and liquefied hydrogen flows” (MetHyInfra), which will ensure traceability in the hydrogen distribution chain. For this purpose, very precise nozzles with well-defined geometries have been produced. In this project, Critical Flow Venturi Nozzles (CFVNs) will be traceably calibrated for the first time with hydrogen and pressures up to 100 MPa using a Coriolis Flow Meter (CFM) as a secondary standard. A CFM has been successfully calibrated with hydrogen against a gravimetric primary standard.Equations of State (EoS) are important for the high-pressure calibration of the nozzles, but also for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. With regard to CFD, a numerical model has been developed to simulate high pressure hydrogen flow in the CFVN. In a parameter study, non-ideal nozzle shapes are investigated using a shape variation parameter. New Speed of Sound (SoS) measurements were conducted at temperatures from 273 to 323 K and pressures from 1 to 100 MPa. These new data were then used to develop a new EoS for normal hydrogen, optimized for gas phase calculations. In addition to gaseous hydrogen, the project has a strong focus on liquefied hydrogen. Here a three-pronged approach allows traceable measurements. Each of the approaches presented is based on a unique flow calibration principle and relies on independent traceability schemes. The results of the project will ensure traceable measurements and thus a higher level of confidence among end users.

Quantification of shape parameters of Co-Cr-Mo-Si multiphase compounds and their role in the processing of metal injection molding feedstocks

Particle shape is one of the most important powder attributes affecting the properties of multiphase compounds intended for metal injection molding. This work reports the processability of gas (GA) and water (WA) atomized Co-Cr-Mo-Si alloy related to quantitative analyses of particle shape using a newly developed algorithm based on the Euclidean distance mapping, which results are compared with those of commercially available dynamic image analysis. Both methods reveal similar values for the parameters that quantify the shape of the powders, such as circularity, aspect ratio, and symmetry. The alloys were mixed with wax/high-density polyethylene (50/50 wt%) binder using a double sigma mixer to produce homogeneous feedstocks. The critical solid loading and flow performance corresponding to the differences in powder shapes were derived from the torque and capillary rheometers, respectively, to obtain the optimum molding parameters. A stable and repeatable viscosity was observed for the GA feedstock, whereas the compound containing WA was prone to phase separation during flow. The defect-free sintered specimens were examined by metallographic analysis; the GA powder compound could be sintered to a maximum of 99.2 % of the theoretical density, whereas the irregular WA powder reached a maximum of 98.8 % of the theoretical density, and the carbon residue was found to be higher for the GA feedstock. The GA samples had a significantly higher ultimate tensile strength owing to their larger symmetry, which resulted in a lower porosity and stress concentration.

Optimal wall shapes and flows for steady planar convection

We compute steady planar incompressible flows and wall shapes that maximize the rate of heat transfer ( $Nu$ ) between hot and cold walls, for a given rate of viscous dissipation by the flow ( $Pe^2$ ), with no-slip boundary conditions at the walls. In the case of no flow, we show theoretically that the optimal walls are flat and horizontal, at the minimum separation distance. We use a decoupled approximation to show that flat walls remain optimal up to a critical non-zero flow magnitude. Beyond this value, our computed optimal flows and wall shapes converge to a set of forms that are invariant except for a $Pe^{-1/3}$ scaling of horizontal lengths. The corresponding rate of heat transfer $Nu \sim Pe^{2/3}$ . We show that these scalings result from flows at the interface between the diffusion-dominated and convection-dominated regimes. We also show that the separation distance of the walls remains at its minimum value at large $Pe$ .

A Novel Slickwater System with Strong-Polarity Fibers for High-Efficiency Proppant Flowback Mitigation

To avoid or mitigate proppant flowback after a massive hydraulic fracturing of tight formations and to reduce its impairment to well productivity, this study developed a new type of fiber material with strong polarity based on polyester fiber. This fiber material is modified by introducing a strong-polar functional monomer into the molecular structure and adopting the means of surface grafting. On the basis of this fiber material, a fiber slip-water system with excellent dispersion performance can be established to prevent proppant backflow. Laboratory experiments were performed to analyze the specific function of the fibers with strong polarity and its working mechanisms. The results indicate that strong-polarity fibers have excellent dispersion performance. The fibers and resistance-reducing agents form an interwoven structure that can carry proppants, resulting in the enhancement of the sand-carrying capacity of the fracturing fluid system and the overall strength of the sand bank. In terms of the sand-carrying capacity and mitigation of proppant flowback, strong-polar fibers have significantly improved compared to unmodified fibers. In a 5 mm simulated crack, strong-polar fibers can increase the static settling time of 70/140 mesh quartz sand proppant by 26.5%. Meanwhile, the placement height of the sand embankment increased by 23.4% after the settlement of the proppant. In proppant transport experiments, strong-polar fibers with a mass fraction of 0.4% can increase the transport distance of proppants by more than 50%. Within the closed stress range of 2–10 MPa, the concentration of 0.5% strong-polar fibers increases the critical sand flow rate of the proppant by more than twice. The strong-polarity fiber system introduced in this study can be used to develop a fiber slickwater fracturing fluid system suitable for the massive hydraulic fracturing of tight reservoirs and has broad application prospects in the field of proppant flowback mitigation in tight reservoirs.
