Physical models of pressure diffusion can be split into two categories: Newtonian and Rheological (non-Newtonian) based on the fluid stress model.

...


The simplest analytical solutions for pressure diffusion are given by 1DL Linear-Drive Solution (LDS) and 1DR Line Source Solution (LSS)The table below shows a list of popular well and reservoir pressure diffusion models.

Fractured vertical well

Multifrac horizontal well
