[en] 1 - Description of program or function: HYFRACP3D is a finite element program for simulation of pseudo three-dimensional fracture geometries with a two-dimensional planar solution. The model predicts the height, width and wing length over time for a hydraulic fracture propagating in a three-layered system of rocks with variable rock mechanics properties. 2 - Method of solution: The program uses the finite element of solution. The model employs a numerical approach to solve the coupled non-linear partial differential equations for the fracture fluid pressure and induced fracture dimensions. The fracture is discretized into a number of vertical sections. Fracture width and pressure evaluations are conducted by applying to each vertical crack,the two-dimensional flow in the vertical direction with leak-off. 3 - Restrictions on the complexity of the problem: Graphics output is not available and program is limited to fracture propagation in a single plane without proppant transport. For PC use, the input is either typed onto the screen in program format if output is sent to a file, or output is printed to screen if input is read from a file
