Simulation Analysis of Gas Bubble Formation and Escape in Non-Newtonian Drilling Fluids

In this study, the formation and escape movements of a bubble injected in non-Newtonian drilling fluid through a pore were numerically simulated using a volume of fluid method. The pattern of a single bubble and the pressure and velocity fields of the surrounding liquid phase during the bubble forma...
