Abstract :
The technology of leak protection and leak control while drilling through physical methods can be successfully applied based on studying the annulus´ behaviour of the whole down hole flow field. In this paper, the model of sealing down hole while drilling through physical methods which will be used for CFD simulation is eatablished through reasonable simplification. Then running numerical simulation two-dimensionally on the down hole model using FLUENT software models and adopting the physical parameters of # 1 drilling fluid systems.
