A dimensionless parameter measuring a fracture conductivity normalized by the product of reservoir permeability $\begin{array}{l}k\end{array}$ and Fracture half-length $\begin{array}{l}X_f\end{array}$ :

(1)	$\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle F_{CD} = \frac{F_C}{k \cdot X_f} = \frac{k_f \cdot w_f}{k \cdot X_f}\end{array}$

where

$\begin{array}{l}k_f\end{array}$	fracture permeability
$\begin{array}{l}w_f\end{array}$	fracture width
