Methods, devices, and kits relating to the implementation of gelled fluids having a transient gel microstructure

摘要

Equipment associated with a gelled fluid may be manipulated based on a stress response of the gelled fluid as determined by a gel microstructure destruction model comprising an equivalent work integral function. Further, systems and devices may be configured to manipulated equipment associated with a gelled fluid based on a stress response of the gelled fluid as determined by a gel microstructure destruction model comprising an equivalent work integral function.

1. A method comprising:
providing a gelled fluid; and manipulating an equipment associated with the gelled fluid based on a stress response of the gelled fluid as determined by a gel microstructure destruction model comprising an equivalent work integral function of ∫{dot over (γ)}(t)dt where {dot over (γ)} is shear rate and t is time.
