Impact of Rock Cuttings on Downhole Fluid Movement in Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) Bits, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Simulation, and Optimization of Hydraulic Structures

The flow occurring at the bottom of a polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) drill bit involves a complex process made up of drilling fluid and the drilled rock cuttings. A thorough understanding of the bottom-hole flow conditions is essential for accurately evaluating and optimizing the hydraulic st...
