Course content

The course covers a range of state-of-the-art models that describes various aspects in drillstring dynamics, such as surge and swab motions, torque and drag, bit rock interactions, axial, torsional and lateral vibration states. There is a focus on models that are particularly suited for real-time implementations, even though this is not an absolute requirement. The compulsory exercises involve substantial programming in Python, Matlab or equivalent.
