Drilling fluids are a critical component in modern drilling operations, serving multiple functions such as transporting rock cuttings to the surface, maintaining wellbore stability, lubricating ...

There is frequently a great deal of uncertainty and misinformation around heat transfer systems, including their proper use and maintenance, causing dread and anxiety among system operators. This fear ...

Rig-site fluid test automation has lagged automated drilling technology and is now a bottleneck to real-time drilling diagnostics and decisions. A new automated mud skid (AMS) addresses this gap by ...

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have re-engineered the popular Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) for simulating ...

Computer scientists at the University of California San Diego have developed a method for generating highly realistic computer-generated images of fluid dynamics in elements such as smoke. This ...

If you mix cornstarch and water in the right proportions, you get “oobleck”: something that seems not-quite-liquid but also not-quite-solid. Oobleck flows and settles like a liquid when untouched, but ...

The term “Nanofluids” was first proposed by Choi of Argonne National Laboratory USA in 1995, which meant nanoparticle fluid suspensions. After which, this interdisciplinary field has developed ...

Intravenous fluids and vasopressor agents are commonly used in early resuscitation of patients with sepsis, but comparative data for prioritizing their delivery are limited. In an unblinded ...
