Migration and Distribution Characteristics of Proppant at the Corner of Horizontal Fracture Network in Coal Seam

A complex fracture network is composed of many similar structures. The migration law of proppant at each structure is the core and basic content of the migration law of proppant in complex fracture network, and there is little research. In this study, the EulerianEulerian method (TEM) is used to ana...
