RHEOLOGY

It is the part of physics that studies the relation between stress and strain in materials that are able to flow. This property determines the type of flow to be used for that control fluids, perform cleaning functions in the well: Remove Transport Suspension

These models are applicable for a laminar flow regime, since when developing a turbulent regime, the effect of viscosity becomes meaningless (the time-dependent are also included within the laminar regime).

The power law model can be used to represent a pseudo-plastic fluid (n <1), a Newtonian fluid (n = 1) or dilatant fluid (n> 1). n: Index Behavior

Definition of Cut Effort and Cut Velocity

Cut Effort : Force per unit area to keep the fluid flowing. = Cut Velocity: Is the relative velocity of a surface moving relative to another. = The relation between and , is the viscosity, which represents the internal resistance to fluid flow.

For a fluid powers law, the apparent viscosity is calculated using the equation: = Where: k: Consistency Index. n: Index Behavior.
