Mathematical and numerical modeling of hydraulic fractures for non-Newtonian fluids

The aim of this thesis is to construct an accurate and effective numerical algorithm to solve a problem of hydraulic fracturing for non--Newtonian fluids of power--law type rheology. Also, to improve the existing semi--analytical solutions using the recent advances in the area. The theoretical backg...
