Further, this study aims at determining the minimum inflow velocity sufficient to destabilize the gravel pack bed and thus, impair it, hence determine the minimum fluidization velocity. A CFD model for such a case hasn?t been done before in the oil and gas industry. We have created a model that describes the internal gravelpack dynamics of fluid and proppanten-USPoster
