Design and numerical analysis of a large‐diameter air reverse circulation drill bit for reverse circulation down‐the‐hole air hammer drilling

Abstract Reverse circulation down‐the‐hole (RC‐DTH) air hammer drilling is a fast and cost‐effective method for hard rock drilling. As the air RC drill bit is the heart for RC‐DTH air hammer drilling system to form the reverse circulation, a large‐diameter RC drill bit was innovatively designed and...
