TL;DR: In this article, a numerical and experimental analysis is conducted on the flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in annuli, and a numerical model is presented that accurately estimates the annular frictional pressure losses with and without the inner pipe rotation.

Rheology and Hydraulics of Polymer (HEC) Based Drilling Foams at Ambient Temperature Conditions
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical simulation of non-Newtonian fluid flow in partially blocked eccentric annuli
TL;DR: In this article, a non-orthogonal, boundary-fitted curvilinear coordinate is developed, which is based on elliptic partial differential equations (PDE) to accommodate annular flow geometry with arbitrary cross-sections.
