Zusammenfassung:A fluid-solid coupling numerical simulation method for evaluating the effect of wellbore strengthening in a fractured formation includes steps of: establishing an elastic deformation equation of rocks around the wellbore; establishing and solving the fluid flow equations within fractures and plugging zone, respectively; substituting the discretized elastic deformation equation of the rocks around the borehole wall into the fluid flow equations of fractures to obtain a fluid-solid coupling equation set for wellbore strengthening in a fractured formation; and finally solving the fluid-solid coupling equation set; and substituting basic parameters into the fluid-solid coupling equation set, and simulating mechanical response characteristics, width evolution characteristics and flow distribution characteristics of plugged fractures under different parameter combinations. The present invention systematically considers the complex flow states of plugged fractures during wellbore strengthening, as well as the deformation and seepage characteristics plugging zone under multi-force coupling.
