A visualization software tool has been developed to aid in the analysis of the numerical output generated by a 3-D gravel pack simulator. The tool provides animated 3-D graphics showing the condition of moving fluids and the progress of gravel placement within the wellbore. The advantages, limitations, and pitfalls in implementing the 3-D visualization for analysis of gravel pack simulation results are addressed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
