Data for: Axisymmetric Displacement Flows in Flow-driven Fractures

Abstract

The raw data presented in the associated manuscript entitled "Axisymmetric displacement flows in fluid-driven fractures" are included here.

For experiments 1 through 16 (see table 3 for experimental parameters), we measure (1) the radius of the fracture during the formation of the pre-fracture, (2) the radius of the fracture during the displacement flow (i.e. when the second fluid is injected), and (3) the radial position of the interface during the two fluids, during the displacement flow. 

We also measured the fracture thickness in the viscous and toughness regimes using absorbance measurements. The raw data presented in figures 4(b) and 8 for the toughness regime, 5(b) and 9 for the viscous regime are included.
