Study on settling characteristics of rock cuttings from terrestrial high clay shale in power-law fluid

In the process of oil and gas drilling, it is of great significance to accurately predict the drag coefficient and settling rate of cuttings in the drilling fluid for hydraulic parameters and borehole cleaning. In this paper, particle settling experiments were used to obtain the final settling veloc...
