Abstract
Recently, with the growth of the shale non-traditional hydrocarbon field developments, the need for refinement of the models of hydraulic fracturing increases. One of the main components of any model is the problem of fluid flow in the fracture. There are several approaches to this problem. One approach is based on the assumption that the fracture grows faster than the fluid front in it. That is, a dry tip appears between the end of the fracture and the front of the fluid. An experiment on hydraulic fracturing, confirming this fact, is presented in this paper.
