Numerical simulation of rock breaking by PDC bit in hot dry rocks

Penetrating through hot dry rocks for geothermal resources with high geothermal gradients, high degrees of hardness and abrasivity will be extremely difficult, and a reasonable tooth distribution is a key factor to improve its rock-breaking efficiency. In order to explore an available cutter arrange...
