Fine grids and large computational models are required to model the thin fluid region between the tool and the formation. As a result, small time step and more iterations are needed, which increases the cumulative numerical error. Furthermore, due to high impedance contrast between the drill collar and fluid in the borehole （the difference is 〉30 times）, the stability and efficiency of the perfectly matched layer （PML） scheme is critical to simulate complicated wave modes accurately. In this paper, we compared four different PML implementations in a staggered grid finite difference in time domain （FDTD） in the ALWD simulation, including field-splitting PML （SPML）, multiaxial PML（M- PML）, non-splitting PML （NPML）, and complex frequency-shifted PML （CFS-PML）. The comparison indicated that NPML and CFS-PML can absorb the guided wave reflection from the computational boundaries more efficiently than SPML and M-PML. For large simulation time, SPML, M-PML, and NPML are numerically unstable. However, the stability of M-PML can be improved further to some extent. Based on the analysis, we proposed that the CFS-PML method is used in FDTD to eliminate the numerical instability and to improve the efficiency of absorption in the PML layers for LWD modeling. The optimal values of CFS-PML parameters in the LWD simulation were investigated based on thousands of 3D simulations. For typical LWD cases, the best maximum value of the quadratic damping profile was obtained using one do. The optimal parameter space for the maximum value of the linear frequency-shifted factor （a0） and the scaling factor （β0） depended on the thickness of the PML layer. For typical formations, if the PML thickness is 10 grid points, the global error can be reduced to 〈1% using the optimal PML parameters, and the error will decrease as the PML thickness increases.展开更多

Adding Si C grits into matrix, Si C grits can easily be exfoliated from the surface of the matrix due to weak holding-force with matrix, which made the surface non-smooth. Three Ф36/24 mm laboratorial bits were manufactured to conduct a laboratory drilling test on zirconiacorundum refractory brick. The laboratory drilling test indicates that the abrasive resistance of the bit work layer is proportional to the Si C concentation. The higher the concentration, the weaker the abrasive resistance of matrix. The new impregnated diamond bit was applied to a mining area drilling construction in Jiangxi province, China. Field drilling application indicates that the ROP(rate of penetration) of the new bit is approximately two to three times that of the common bits. Compared with the common bits, the surface of the new bit has typical abrasive wear characteristics,and the metabolic rate of the diamond can be well matched to the wear rate of the matrix.展开更多

This paper reports the results of tests on the performances of a six row pneumatic precision drill in which the depression into each sowing unit is created by means of flexible pipes that do not start directly from the fan, as in most pneumatic drills, but from an air duct having the function of uniformly distributing the air flow along the working width. Field tests have been conducted, using three graded seeds, to evaluate the accuracy of the single seed metering system, according to ISO 7256/1 standard, and the uniformity of negative pressure, through the measurement of the distance between seeds in the furrow, under two speed conditions （5 and 8 km bl）.展开更多
