CFD predictions of drilling fluid velocity and pressure profiles in laminar helical flow
Fluid flow in annular spaces has received a lot of attention from oil industries, both in drilling operations and in petroleum artificial rising. In this work, through numerical simulation using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique, the flow of non-Newtonian fluids through the annuli for...
