CFD modeling of particle settling in drilling fluids: Impact of fluid rheology and particle characteristics
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
The settling of drilling cuttings is important for the drilling and clean-out operations. The current article provides a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling study of particle settling behavior during the drilling ...
CFD analysis of turbulent flow of power-law fluid in a partially blocked eccentric annulus
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
This study focuses on analyzing the turbulent flow of drilling fluid in inclined wells using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. The analysis is performed considering an annulus with a fixed eccentricity of ...
Assessing the relation between mud components and rheology for loss circulation prevention using polymeric gels: A machine learning approach
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
The traditional way to mitigate loss circulation in drilling operations is to use preventative and curative materials. However, it is difficult to quantify the amount of materials from every possible combination to produce ...
