Simulation of the cutting action of a single PDC cutter using DEM

Optimization of costly drilling operations is essential to reduce the overall costs of oil and gas extraction. Simulation of these operations can yield a better selection of parameters for maximum drilling efficiency. One of the most cost efficient methods to do so is by computer modeling. Because o...
