Transient effects in oilfield cementing flows
In this thesis we study instabilities and mud channel removal during the primary cementing of an oil well. This process involves displacement of a sequence of non-Newtonian fluids along a narrow eccentric annulus. Previously, this has been modelled as a pseudo-steady process using a Hele-Shaw app...
