Abstract

Drilling fluid is known as the blood of drilling engineering, which plays an important role in drilling engineering. The real-time measurement of drilling fluid rheological parameters is crucial to the optimization and adjustment of drilling scheme. Pipe flow method is a common method of measuring drilling fluid rheology parameters, pipe flow method monitoring equipment is an important reason of the pipe flow method monitoring principle, the analysis of the reason, put forward the spiral development section optimization scheme, using F LUENT numerical simulation software for simulation, the optimization platform and verify the reliability of the optimization of numerical simulation results, greatly reduce the pipe flow, method monitoring equipment volume. It also provides a theoretical basis for other pipeline measurement fields.
