Viscosity Models for Drilling Fluids—Herschel-Bulkley Parameters and Their Use

An evaluation is presented of the practical usage of the Herschel-Bulkley viscosity model for drilling fluids. If data from automatic viscosity measurements exist, the parameters should be selected from relevant shear rate ranges to be applicable. To be able to be used properly, viscosity measuremen...
