Use of Concentric Hele-Shaw Cell for the Study of Displacement Flow and Interface Tracking in Primary Cementing

We present our new designed concentric Hele-Shaw cell Learning Tower geometry with dynamic similarity to a real field wellbore annulus during primary cementing, and then, the results of displacement flow of Newtonian and yield-stress non-Newtonian fluids in it are described.The displacement stability and efficiency, the effect of back, front, and s
