Abstract: In this paper, a new constant rate solution for asymmetrically fractured wells was proposed to analyze the effect of fracture asymmetry on type curves. Calculative results showed that for a small wellbore storage coefficient ...

Abstract: Metamaterials are man-made materials engineered to possess certain desired and often counterintuitive properties. It is well-known that elastic metamaterials may exhibit unusual bulk elastic properties when subject to ...

Abstract: Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) require mechanical compression to ensure structural integrity, prevent leakage, and to minimize the electrical contact resistance. The mechanical properties and dimensions of ...

Abstract: Surface depressions significantly influence hydrologic processes. In traditional semidistributed models, however, the entire area is connected to the outlet of a watershed and surface depressions are often lumped as a ...

Abstract: Rate decline analysis is a significant method for predicting well performance. Previous studies on rate decline analysis of fractured wells are all based on homogeneous reservoirs rather than ...

Abstract: Inland flooding and mudslides from tropical cyclone (TC) rainstorms are among the most destructive natural hazards in China, resulting in considerable direct economic losses and large numbers of fatalities. In this paper, ...
