Video data of hydraulic fracture propagation in two-dimensionally confined gelatin plates

This data article presents 36 raw and unprocessed video files which were obtained during hydraulic fracture experiments in two-dimensionally confined gelatin plates. Initiation and propagation of bi-wing fractures were recorded at 50 frames per second with the resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. The gelatin stiffness, the fluid viscosity, and the flow rate were controlled. With these data, the fracture geometry, such as length, width, and propagation velocity were discussed in the research article “Characteristics of steady-state propagation of hydraulic fractures in ductile elastic and two-dimensionally confined plate media” Ham and Kwon et al., 2019.
