CFD Simulation of Rheological Model Effect on Cuttings Transport
TL;DR: In this article, two rheological models (the Herschel-Bulkley model and power law) were fitted to two foam systems in order to simulate the effect of the rheology on the hydraulic performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation of cuttings transport with foam in deviated wellbores using computational fluid dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the cuttings transport process with foam is numerically simulated using an Eulerian two-phase model in inclined wellbores using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package called FLUENT.
