In spite of the widespread application of settling suspensions, their inherent complexity has
yet to be properly predicted by a unified numerical model or empirical correlation, and …

The behavior of horizontal solid− liquid (slurry) pipeline flows was predicted using a
transient three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic model based on the kinetic theory of …

Pipeline liquid–solid two-phase flow is a significantly important multiphase flow
phenomenon widely encountered in both industrial and natural settings. The flow regime of …

Poor hole cleaning is a major concern in coiled-tubing drilling (CTD), and it is often
associated with long nonproductive time that contributes significantly to the operational cost …

The authors have developed a 1D two-layer-model transient-cuttings-transport simulator that
predicts the transient behaviors of cuttings transport, including the concentration and slip …

Coiled tubing technology (CTT) showed its capabilities in oil and gas (O&G) drilling in many
cases. Some of the advantages of CT drilling are rapid mobilization/demobilization and rig …

Understanding the flow behavior of complex concentrated slurries is of tremendous
importance for industrial waste management. In this study, the transport of three–phase oil …

Hole cleaning is one of the key technologies in extended-reach drilling, the core of which is
cuttings transport research. Based on the three-layer steady cuttings transport model of …

A unified transient model is presented for predictions of flow pattern transitions, pressure
gradient, solid particle concentration in solid-liquid two-phase flow. The transient …

The transport of monodisperse and bimodal particles in a turbulent non-Newtonian carrier is
studied using a Eulerian–Eulerian CFD model coupled with granular kinetic theory. The …
