Numerical Simulation of Gas-Liquid-Solid Three-Phase Flow in Deep Wells

A gas-liquid-solid flow model which considers the effect of the cuttings on the pressure drop is established for the annulus flow in the deep wells in this paper, based on which a numerical code is developed to calculate the thermal and flow quantities such as temperature and pressure distributions....
