SMP Modeling_ PSD and effectiveness in fracture sealing
After building the CFD model, the coupled CFD-DEM simulations were used to generate about 100 cases that have different size distributions. We have determined that the best fracture sealing results come from the bimodal distribution designs.

SMP Modeling_Modeling of Cohesive Expandable LCMs for Fractures with Large Apertures
The coupled CFD-DEM model is used to simulate the flow of SMP in drilling fluid and modeling of cohesive expandable lcms for fractures with large apertures. The simulation domain is a wellbore-geometry setup similar to the experimental setup (HT dynamic LCM testing unit). The sealing results show that the SMP accumulate at the fracture entrance, where violent particle collisions occur. A small plug forms and then gradually invade deeper into the fracture.

SMP Modeling_Optimal bimodal distribution
We conducted a series of numerical simulations and found the composition of the optimal bimodal distribution by expanding the concept of size mixtures.
