An experimental study was carried out to study the solid-liquid mixture upward flow in a vertical and inclined annulus with rotating inner cylinder. Lift forces acting on a fluidized particle plays a central role in many importance applications, such as the removal of drill cuttings in horizontal drill holes, sand transport in fractured reservoirs, sediment transport and cleaning of particles from surfaces, etc. Field measurements have revealed that the pressure drop over a borehole during drilling of a slim oil well or a well with a long reach can depend significantly on the rotation speed of the drill pipe. An accurate prediction of the annular frictional pressure drop is therefore important for conditions where the annular clearance is small. Effect of annulus inclination and drill pipe rotation on the carrying capacity of drilling fluid, particle rising velocity, and pressure drop in the slim hole annulus have been measured for fully developed flows of water and of aqueous solutions.

An experimental investigation is carried out to study 2-phase vertically upward hydraulic transport of solid particles by water and non-Newtonian fluids in a slim hole concentric annulus with rotation of the inner cylinder. Rheology of particulate suspensions in viscoelastic fluids is of importance in many applications such as particle removal from surfaces, transport of proppants in fractured reservoir and cleaning of drilling holes, etc. In this study a clear acrylic pipe was used in order to observe the movement of solid particles. Annular fluid velocities varied from 0.2 m/s to 3.0 m/s. Pressure drops and average flow rate and particle rising velocity are measured. For both water and 0.2% CMC solutions, the higher the concentration of the solid particles is, the larger the pressure gradients become.

An experimental study is carried out to study two-phase vertically upward hydraulic transport of solid particles by water in a vertical and inclined (0${\sim}$60 degree) concentric annulus with rotation of the inner cylinder. Rheology of particulate suspensions in shear-thinning fluids is of importance in many applications such as particle removal from surfaces, transport of proppants in fractured reservoir and cleaning of drilling holes, and so on. Annular fluid velocities varied from 0.2 m/s to 1.5 m/s for the actual drilling operational condition. Macroscopic behavior of solid particles, averaged flow rate, and particle rising velocity are observed. Main parameters considered in this study were radius ratio, inner-pipe rotary speed, fluid flow regime, and particle injection rate. For both water and CMC solutions, the higher the concentration of the solid particles is, the larger the pressure gradients become

The paper concerns an experimental study of fully developed laminar flow of a Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquid in concentric annuli with combined bulk axial flow and inner cylinder rotation. Pressure losses and skin friction coefficients have been measured for Newtonian fluid, water and non-Newtonian fluids, 0.2% aqueous of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and 5% bentonite solutions, when the inner cylinder rotates at the speed of $0{\sim}500$ rpm. The influences of rotation, radius ratio and working fluid on the annular flow field are investigated. And the new correlations among the skin friction coefficient, the Reynolds number and the Rossby number are presented with reasonable limits of accuracy in laminar flow regime.

Field measurements have revealed that the pressure drop over a borehole during drilling of a slim oil well or a well with a long reach can depend significantly on the rotation speed of the drill pipe. An accurate prediction of the annular frictional pressure drop is therefore important for conditions where the annular clearance is small. An experimental study was carried out to study solid-liquid two phase flow in a slim hole annulus. Annular velocities of carrier fluids varied from 0.2 m/s to 1.5 m/s. The carrier fluids which were utilized included tap water and CMC water solutions. Pressure drops and average flow rates were measured for the parameters such as inner-pipe rotary speed, carrier fluid velocity, hole inclination and particle injection rate. For both water and CMC solutions, the higher the concentration of the solid particles is, the larger the pressure gradients become.

During drilling, the precipitation velocity of cuttings within an annulus depends on the density and configuration of the cuttings, and on the density, viscosity, and rheological characteristics of the drilling fluid. In directional drilling in particular, it is difficult to adjust and control the cuttings. In contrast to vertical drilling, it is very important to evaluate the flow characteristics of a drilling flow field. However, research on the transfer features of cuttings is inadequate. In this study, in order to identify transfer features of cuttings, an experiment was performed under wide-ranging conditions by constructing a slim hole annulus ($44mm{\times}30mm$) device. In this experiment, the particle volume fraction were influenced by particle size, particle concentration within the flow, pipe rotation, flow volume, and inclination of the annulus. In addition, a mathematical formula for volumetric concentration was deduced and compared to the test results and behavior of cuttings under the other drilling condition was made to be predicted. Therefore, this study can provide meaningful data for vertical and horizontal drilling, and for directional drilling.

본 연구는 안쪽축이 회전하고 바깥쪽 실린더는 정지해있는 반경비가0.52이고 30$^{\circ}$ 경사진 동심 환형관내의 헬리컬 유동 특성에 관한 것이다. 비뉴튼 유체인 UC 수용액과 벤토나이트 수용액을 사용하여 안쪽축이 0~400pm으로 회전할 때 축방향 유동을 완전히 발달시킨 후 축방향 압력손실값을 측정하였다. 또한, 헬리컬 유동의 가시화는 불안정한 파를 관찰하기 위해 수행되었다. 현재 연구 결과는 표면마찰계수에 대해 로스비순(Ro)와 레이놀즈수(Re)의 관계를 나타내었다. 또한, 그 결과들은 유동 불안정성 메카니즘의 존재를 보인다. 축회전수가 증가함에 따라 압력손실이 증가하지만, 그 증가폭은 천이 및 난류영역에서는 레이놀즈수가 증가할수록 감소하며, 회전의 영향으로 유동교란이 증진되어 천이가 촉진된다. 또, 이런 유동교란의 증진은 표면마찰계수값의 증가와 함께 임계 레이놀즈수(Re$_{c}$)를 작게 만든다.

본 논문은 안쪽축이 회전하는 동심환형관 물과 비뉴튼유체의 고-액 2상 유동연구를 수행하였다. 점탄성유체의 유변학은 굴착구멍의 청결, 입자의 밖으로 수송하는 등 여러 가지 응용에 중요하다. 연구에서 투명한 아크릴관은 고체입자의 이동을 관찰하기 위하여 사용하였다. 환형관 속도는 0.3m/s에서 2.0m/s로 변한다. 머드시스템은 물과 CMC 수용액을 혼합하여 사용하였다. 연구에서 고려된 주요 변수들은 축회전속도, 유체 유동영역과 입자 주입율이다. 입자이송속도와 압력강하는 유체유량(Q, LPM)이 5~30의 범위에서 측정하였다. 물과 0.2% CMC 수용액에서 고체입자의 농도가 높을수록 압력손실이 커짐을 알 수 있었다.
