“…The averaging momentum transport equations that describe the transport phenomena in the η-region is given by Ochoa-Tapia and Whitaker (22) : where the first viscous term in Equation (16) is known as the first Brinkman correction, the viscous term involving the gradient of the porosity is known as the second Brinkman correction and Φ β is a vector defined by: W hitaker (25) derived an expression for Φ β which is given by: (18) which is valid when the following three length-scale constraints are imposed: In these equations, K β represents the Darcy´s law permeability tensor, L ε is the characteristic length associated with ∇ε β , L p1 is the characteristic length associated with ∇〈p β 〉 β and L v2 is the characteristic length associated with ∇ 2 〈v β 〉. When the constraints indicated by Equation (19) are valid, the second Brinkman correction is negligible, compared with the first Brinkman correction: Use of Equations (18) and (20) in Equation (16) leads to: The Blake-Kozeny equation (26) is used to express permeability as: where K β = K ZZ e Z e Z , d p is the effective particle diameter, and λ is a constant which is obtained from experimental tests.…”

“…On the other hand, numerous mathematical and empirical models for the prediction of cuttings transport in horizontal and directional wells have been developed by several researchers (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) . However, many of the previous models (two-and three-layer approaches) have been constructed on an intuitive basis rather than on a rigorous analysis of the governing point equations and boundary conditions.…”

“…This is an approach that was initiated in slurry transport modeling 14,15,17 and that has later been adapted to cuttings transport modeling 18,21,12,[22][23][24] . In most cases, actually a 0-D problem is solved, but extending these models to 1-D, solving for transport along the wellbore, does not yield real physical modeling challenges.…”
