Abstract:
It is proved first that hydrofracture has a self-similar elliptic extending characteristic which is independent of the praseure distribution in fractures by the theory of fracture me-chanics in this paper.Based on this theory ,the approximative analytic solutions of pressure distribution in fractures have been put forward by fracture mechanics coupled with fluid mechanics.
