Computational Fluid Dynamics Study of the Effects of Drill Cuttings on the Open Channel Flow by Prasanna Welahettige, Christian Berg, Joachim Lundberg, Bernt Lie, Knut Vaagsaether

“…The effect of flow depth and flow velocity in an open channel was studied for drill cutting size of up to 5 mm and for a solid volume fraction of up to 10%. For constant cross section and short open channels, the effect of drill cuttings on flow depth and mean velocity was found to be small for particle sizes less than 5 mm and solid volume fractions less than 10%. …”
