Flow Field and Pressure Loss Characteristics at Rotary Drillstring Joints

A thorough understanding and accurate calculation of the annulus pressure losses are paramount to drilling design and construction. However, due to the influence of the drillstring rotation and the abrupt dimensional variation at the joint, it is difficult to calculate the pressure loss by theoretic...
