  • Abstract
    This paper presents a case study to compare and evaluate two drilling mud transport models, ParTrack and bblt. A near bottom release of barite particles under rotary current conditions was simulated with four scenarios. The two ParTrack scenarios release the barite at different depths (1m and 5m) above seabed and the two bblt scenarios use different user specified log-layer depths. Predicted sediment concentrations at four cross-sections were compared.
