Abstract
The presentation covers different well flow phenomena like removal of drilled particles, displacement between fluid system and optimized mixing of fluids. Furthermore, a suitable model description of these types of fluids is presented. This model is a variation of the Herschel-Bulkley model based on the Nelson & Ewoldt approach.
