Numerical simulation of planar hydraulic fracture propagation with consideration to transition from turbulence to laminar flow regime

•A three-dimensional planar hydraulic fracture model is established.•The transition from turbulence to laminar flow in hydraulic fractures is considered.•The frictional behavior in the turbulent flow regime was approximated based on the MDR asymptote and Blasius correlation.•The influence of turbulent flow effect on hydraulic fracture is analyzed.
