Simulation of Fluid Steady Circulating Motion in Pre-Screen Well Zone
A mathematical model of a steady circulating motion of fluid in a pre-screen zone of the committed well is constructed. Its screen is parted not only by horizontal partitions but also by vertical packers into a series of blowing and sucking quadrants. The proposed mathematical model allows to determine pressure and speed of fluid during circulation in any point of pre-screen well zone with constant and changed permeability. Theoretical and experimental investigations of circulating fluid motion with various permeability of pre-screen well zone are given in the paper. As a result of it, it has been ascertained that pressure on quadrant boundaries is equal to zero and an angular component of a velocity vector reaches a maximum value. A radial component of the velocity vector reaches its maximum value in the centre of a quadrant. Good convergence of the results of mathematical and physical simulation testifies about the possibility to use mathematical model for determination of design parameters of a circulating regeneration quadrant device.
