Computational Fluid Dynamics Study of the Effects of Drill Cuttings on the Open Channel Flow

Figure 5

Case 2: (a) a comparison between the 3D CFD result and the Haldenwang [29] experimental results for flow depth along the channel axis at steady state. The channel length is 10 m, and the width is 0.3 m. The fluid properties of Case 2 are given in Table 2. (b) Velocity profile, the flow direction is left to right.
