## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for modeling proppant transport during hydraulic fracturing. It allows AI agents to calculate `calculate_settling_velocity` for specific particles, predict the `calculate_concentration_profile` across fracture lengths, and estimate the `calculate_bank_height` at the bottom of the fracture. For a complete overview of the transport state, use `simulate_transport_dynamics` to aggregate settling and concentration data into a single summary.

## Tools

### calculate_bank_height
Estimates the thickness of the accumulated proppant bed at the bottom of the fracture

### calculate_concentration_profile
Predicts the distribution of proppant concentration across the fracture

### calculate_settling_velocity
Determines the speed at which a specific proppant particle falls through a given fluid

### simulate_transport_dynamics
Provides a high-level overview of the transport state by combining settling and concentration data

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the settling velocity for a proppant with density 2650, diameter 0.0005, fluid viscosity 0.1, and fluid density 1000?
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated settling velocity for the specified proppant is 0.025 m/s.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Estimate the proppant bank height for a fracture with width 0.05, height 0.1, concentration 0.2, and volume fraction 0.6.
```

**Response:** 
```
The estimated height of the accumulated proppant bed is 0.02 meters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Provide a transport summary for a fluid with power-law rheology and proppant data with density 2600 and diameter 0.0004, in a fracture of 100x0.05x0.1.
```

**Response:** 
```
The transport summary shows an average settling velocity of 0.022 m/s, a peak concentration of 0.25, and an estimated bank height of 0.015 meters.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What can I calculate with this model?**
You can calculate proppant settling velocity, the concentration profile along the fracture, the height of the proppant bank, and a complete transport summary using `simulate_transport_dynamics`.

**Does the model account for non-Newtonian fluids?**
Yes, the model is designed to handle non-Newtonian fluid rheology profiles to accurately predict how viscosity affects particle settling.

**How do I connect this to my AI client?**
Connect via Vinkius Edge using your personal Connection Token. This works with Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client.
