A study on non-spherical cuttings transport in CBM well drilling by coupled CFD-DEM

Due to the specificity of coal rock containing CBM (coal bed methane), large-sized cuttings from coal bed drilling present abnormal appearances which make the transport of cuttings more troublesome. Simulations of the transport of large-sized and non-spherical drilling cuttings in the horizontal wel...
