Numerical Simulation of the Effects of the Helical Angle on the Decaying Swirl Flow of the Hole Cleaning Device

The application of the hole cleaning device in downhole is a new technology that can improve the problem of cuttings accumulation in the annulus and improve the hole cleaning effect of the wellbore during drilling. In this paper, the Reynolds Averaged Navier⁻Stokes model, together with the...
