Analytical and experimental study of a reverse circulation drill bit with an annular slit
A new type of drill bit designed with an annular slit was developed to enhance the reverse circulation effect of the down-the-hole hammer drilling technology. A computational fluid dynamics code, Fluent, was used to simulate the flow phenomena inside the drill bit. The simulation results show that t...
