Fluid–solid coupling simulation of a new hydraulic self-adaptive PDC cutter for improving well-drilling efficiency in complex formations

A new type of hydraulic self-adaptive polycrystalline-diamond-compact (PDC) cutter (SAPC) is designed for controlling cutting depth of the PDC bit flexibly and reducing the harm of stick–slip vibration to drilling operation. The fluid–solid coupling movement of SAPC under different well-drilling con...
