In my MS-Petroleum engineering (2009-2012), I used Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to simulate Primary Well Cementing (Newtonian-Non-Newtonian Fluids). In my Postdoc (2015-2016) work, I used CFD to perform Worst Case Discharge Calculations (WCD) in oil and gas wells
Examined the factors that influence the mud displacement efficiency in primary cementing process by modeling the mud displacement process numerically using the Computational Fluid Dynamics
Developed a correlation to predict mud sweep efficiency in vertical well segments
Studied the accuracy of most commonly used 1D multiphase flow techniques for worst case discharge conditions in deepwater drilling blowouts
Investigated the suitability of CFD multiphase models for very high oil-gas flow rates in large diameter pipes and validated, bench marked and calibrated CFD models for worst case discharge conditions
Established the criteria to select an appropriate CFD model for different worst case discharge conditions
