CFD Analysis of Turbulent Flow of Power-Law Fluid in a Partially Blocked Eccentric Annulus

This study focuses on analyzing the turbulent flow of drilling fluid in inclined wells using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. The analysis is performed considering an annulus with a fixed eccentricity of 90% and varying fluid properties, diameter ratio, and bed thickness to examine...
