Yield stress fluid flows occur in a great many operations and unit processes within the oil
and gas industry. This paper reviews this usage within reservoir flows of heavy oil, drilling …

Recent years have seen a flurry of research on yield stress fluids, approached from different
perspectives (physicochemical, rheological and fluid mechanical), considering different …

The third edition of Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids provides
comprehensive coverage of the scientific foundations and the latest advances in particle …

Flow of typical non-Newtonian fluids such as cement grouts can experience different
regimes as the Reynolds number (Re) changes, understanding of which is important for …

The shear-thinning fluid flow in rough fractures is of wide interest in subsurface engineering.
Inertial effects due to flow regime, fracture aperture variations as well as fluid rheology affect …

Squeeze cementing is a process used to repair leaking oil and gas wells, in which a cement
slurry is driven under pressure to fill an uneven leakage channel. This results in a Hele …

A numerical and theoretical study of yield-stress fluid flows in two types of model porous
media is presented. We focus on viscoplastic and elastoviscoplastic flows to reveal some …

Abstract Anywhere between 0% and 80% of primary cemented wells have integrity failures.
Strong local variability suggests both geological and operational factors. One way geology …

In this work, we studied experimentally and numerically the pressure–flow rate relationship
for yield stress fluids in porous media. We developed and validated 3D numerical …

There has recently been renewed interest in understanding the physics of foam flow in
permeable media. As for Newtonian flows in fractures, the heterogeneity of local apertures in …
