Proppant transport in fractures is essentially a dense granular flow in a slot-shaped space. Applying the two-fluid method in numerical simulations of a field-scale particle flow is promising, but existing solid stress models cannot accurately describe the process of proppant accumulation. In this paper, the morphological change of a proppant pack under flow erosion was analyzed experimentally, and the important influence of cohesion on the change of the pack state was pointed out. Then, combined with the simulated results of a proppant transport and the results of a suspension apparent viscosity test, the influence of the particle radial distribution function on the solid kinetic pressure and the change trend of total solid pressure were analyzed, and the change rate of the solid friction pressure with the particle volume fraction was determined. Based on the granular matter theory and results of a direct shear test, the cohesion of the proppant pack was considered in the frictional viscosity model. The results show that the improved solid friction stress model can capture larger angles of the accumulation and settlement profiles, and correctly simulate the process of proppant accumulation.
