Annotation:

Theoretical and experimental studies of cavitation phenomena have a long and extensive history and are associated with the names of such outstanding scientists as O. Reynolds, Lord Rayleigh, M. Plesset, and Academician E.I. Zababakhin. However, the achievements in this branch of science have so far been applied inconsistently to jet systems for drilling and cementing fluids. Authors generally limit themselves to speculations about the extraordinarily high pressure spikes during cavitation bubble collapse and, consequently, the great potential of cavitation for grinding suspended particles in the preparation of drilling and cementing fluids as well as for cleaning wellbores from clogging substances. Nonetheless, significant effects on an industrial scale have not yet been achieved. In order to develop scientifically grounded recommendations for the design of these processes, an analysis of existing data in the scientific and technical literature is performed. This analysis is specific to the cavitation bubble collapse process, focusing on the application of the released energy to impact the components of drilling and cementing fluids during their preparation and processing.
