Rheological Properties of Drilling Fluids: Use of Dimensionless Shear Rates in Herschel-Bulkley and Power-law Models

An approach of Nelson and Ewoldt [1] to create a viscosity model of the Herschel-Bulkley type in order to use only parameters with the potential of containing fluid information has been extended to be applied to drilling fluids using current industry standard procedures. The commonly used Herschel-B...
