screenouts,
pre-squeeze or diversion sand plugs, etc.). Solids density, s (ppg), particle diameter, Dp (ft), and
particle geometry (sphericity) are important variables in proper wash fluid selection. Analysis of
physical samples helps determine solids TPSV (terminal particle settling velocity) through selected
wash fluids.
For right spherical particles in an incompressible Newtonian fluid, TPSV can be found by multiplying
drag coefficient by NRep squared to eliminate velocity from the equation. Solving simultaneous
equations gives the appropriate NRep region for the identified particle drag coefficient and yields a
solution for TPSV.
For example: TPSV can be calculated for spherical 30 mesh (US) sand particles (D p =0.001933 ft) with
a density (s) of 165.4 lbs/ft3 falling in 62.4 lbs/ft3, density (l), 1.05 cp fluid.
