5.2 Method 5-2. Problems with collar-drillpipe area
discontinuity, with drillbit assumed as closed end, solid
drillbit reflector (software reference, collar-pipe-closed-*.for) .
5.2.1 Theory.
Figure 5.1a from Method 5-1 applies to this problem, however, the drillbit
is assumed as a solid reflector in the present model. If the drillbit can be
modeled as a solid reflector, e.g., if nozzle areas are truly small or if very hard
rock is being drilled, then the acoustic displacement satisfies u 1 (0,t) = 0 at the
bit. This requires that u 1 (x,t) = h(t - x/c) - h(t + x/c) which vanishes at x = 0.
Minor changes to the analysis of Method 5-1 lead to the three applications
formulas below -
'p(t) - 'p(t - 2L m /c) =
= (A p /A c +1) p 3 (t - L m /c) + (A p /A c - 1) p 3 (t - L m /c - 2L c /c)
(5.2.1)
p pipe (t) + {(A p -A c )/(A p +A c )} P pipe (t - 2L c /c) =
= {- 'p(t - L m /c - L c /c) + 'p(t + L m /c - L c /c)}/(A p /A c +1)
(5.2.2)
p surface (t) + {(A p -A c )/(A p +A c )} p surface (t - 2L c /c) =
= {- 'p(t - L m /c - L/c) + 'p(t + L m /c - L/c)}/(A p /A c +1) (5.2.3)
Identical cases to those performed in Method 5-1 were run. Refer to Method 5-1
for a description of the 'p(t) functions assumed. Excellent recovery is achieved
in all instances, that is, black and green curves identical.
