General method of calculating annular laminar pressure drop of drilling fluids with different rheological models

Traditional annular laminar flow analysis method applied in drilling engineering has poor accuracy and does not apply to complicated rheological models. A general method of calculating annular laminar pressure drop of drilling fluids with different rheological models was proposed, compared with trad...
