This project aims to numerically analyze the effect of drill pipe rotation on cuttings transportation in horizontal wellbores. For this purpose, Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) ANSYS 15.0 CFX was utilized to model the design at various pipe rotation speeds, fluid velocities, and a constant rate of penetration (ROP) of 60 ft/hr. The performance of the proposed model was compared with an experimental...
