In a curvilinear well, the casing functions as a long continuous rod. It is installed on the supports-centralizers and replicates the complex profile of the well, as a result of which it receives large deformations. To describe them, a system of differential equilibrium equations of internal and external forces and moments was composed, which was supplemented to a closed form with a differential equation of curvature. It is non-uniform, because it takes into account the own distributed weight of the rod. Two ways are proposed to solve the problem: by the method of mathematical compression of the system equations into a complex inhomogeneous differential equation or by projecting the equilibrium equations of forces on the global (vertical-horizontal) and on the local (tangent-normal) coordinate systems. It is shown that the first integral of the system can also be found from the equilibrium equations of a portion of a curved rod of finite length. This integral has the form of a second-order inhomogeneous differential equation with variable coefficients and is the main equation that describes the deformation of a long elastic rod under the action of the longitudinal and transverse components of the forces of distributed weight. The main requirement of the technology is the installation of a pipes column on the centering supports, the purpose of which is to ensure the coaxiality of the pipes and the borehole walls and the creation between them a cement ring of the same thickness and strength. Accounting for this requirement allowed us to linearize the main equation. Its solution is the clue to the formulas of deflections, angular slopes, internal bending moments and transverse forces in the rod with the arbitrary arrangement of supports and boundary conditions in their intersections. The solution of the main differential equation of angular deformations of a long bar is found in the form of a linear combination of Airy and Scorer’s functions and in the form of three linearly independent polynomial series in the sum with a partial solution. The obtained formulas of flexure and power parameters allow us to calculate stress and strain in the pipes column during the process of casing the borehole of an arbitrary profile which increases the reliability and durability of the well.

The casing column in the curvilinear well is represented as a long solid elastic rod. It has a vertically actingweight, which is evenly distributed along the length and creates variable axial tensile forces in the column body. At the same time, it is influenced by the reaction forces of the borehole walls, which, together with the weight, bend the column of initially straight pipes. It is assumed that the casing axis replicates the axis of the bent borehole, and the walls reaction is continuously distributed along the length according to a certain law, which, together with the weight, bends the column of the initially straight pipes. A system of differential equilibrium equations of internal and external forces and moments was composed. This system was supplemented to a closed form with the differential equation of curvature. This system describes large deformations of a long elastic rod in one plane. The introduction of the distributed weight, wall reactions and resistance forces into the calculation makes it non-uniform. Its feature is the need to solve the inverse problem. In this case the external load and rod deformations defined by the well shape in the form of an inclinometric data table are known. The unknown internal forces and the function of the walls reaction which creates its predetermined shape must be determined. It is established that this function depends on the distribution of axial forces caused by weight and resistance forces. As a result the system was reduced to a linear inhomogeneous differential equation with variable coefficients of the first order as to the axialforce and its solution was obtained as a sum of integrals. It is shown that one of them can be found in quadratures only in the case of a constant radius of curvature of the well. This necessitated the use of numerical integration methods. Formulas for the distribution of axial forces and bending moments in the body of the column, as well as the reactions of the walls leading the column to the actual well profile are obtained from the solution of the basic equation. To calculate these force factors, a method for numerical integration of inclinometric measurements data and software for numerical analysis of a real well are developed. This technique allows to detect the areas of local increase of the curvature and difficult passage of the curvilinear wellbore and to calculate the main parameters of the stress-strain state of the casing column in it.

This paper is concerned with the variable coefficients mKdV (VC-mKdV) equation. First, through some transformation we convert VC-mKdV equation into the constant coefficient mKdV equation. Then, using the first integral method we obtain the exact solutions of VC-mKdV equation, such as rational function solutions, periodic wave solutions of triangle function, bell-shape solitary wave solution, kink-shape solitary wave solution, Jacobi elliptic function solutions, and Weierstrass elliptic function solution. Furthermore, with the aid of Mathematica, the extended hyperbolic functions method is used to establish abundant exact explicit solution of VC-mKdV equation. By the results of the equation, the first integral method and the extended hyperbolic function method are extended from the constant coefficient nonlinear evolution equations to the variable coefficients nonlinear partial differential equation.

Mechanical model of nucleoside and its equilibrium equations are set up, and the mechanical properties on the equilibrium position are analyzed. In the case constraint force and electrostatic attraction between cylinder OH and elastic rod are balanced, the analytic expression of nutation angle of the section and its conditions of existence are given. It is show that the cylinder OH can maintain equilibrium at any range of the precession angle. In the other case when unbanced, there is phenomenon of separation of elastic rod from cylinder OH in the spiral wound 2 circles, and numerical solution of the precession angle at separation points are calculated. Analysis of equilibrium of cylinder H1 illustrates that the generatrix of cylinder H1 and OH are not parallel, and the angle between them is obtained

Abstract Finite difference equations were programmed and used to integrate the second-order, second-degree, partial differential equation with variable coefficients that represents the transient linear flow of gas-condensate fluids. Effect was given to the change with pressure of the compressibility factor, the viscosity, and the effective permeability and to change of the absolute permeability with distance. Integrations used as illustrations include recovery of fluid from a reservoir at a constant production rate followed by recovery at a declining rate calculated to maintain a constant pressure at the producing boundary. The time required to attain such a limiting pressure and the fraction of the reserve recovered in that time vary markedly with properties of the fluid represented by the coefficients. Fluid also is returned to the reservoir at a constant rate, until initial formation pressure is attained at the input boundary, and then at a calculated rate that will maintain but not exceed the limiting pressure. The computing programs were used to calculate the results that would be obtained in a series of back-pressure tests made at selected intervals of reservoir depletion. If effect is given to the variations in properties of the fluid that actually occur, then a series of back-pressure curves one for each stage of reserve depletion -- is required to indicate open-flow capacity and related flow characteristics dependably. The isochronal performance method for determining flow characteristics of a well was simulated by computation. Introduction The back-pressure test procedure is based on a derivation of the equation for steady-state radial flow of a gas, the properties of which are of necessity assumed to remain unchanged in applying the test results. The properties of most natural gases being recovered from reservoirs change as the reserve is depleted and pressures decline, and the results of an early back-pressure test may not be dependable for estimating the future delivery capacity of a well. The compressibility factor of a fluid under an initial pressure of 10,000 psia can change 45 per cent and the viscosity can change 70 per cent during the productive life of the reservoir. There are indications that the effective permeability to the flowing fluid can become 50 per cent of the original absolute permeability before enough liquid collects in the structure about a well as pressure declines to permit flow of liquid into the well. The advent of programmed electronic computing made practicable the integration of nonlinear, second-order, partial differential equations pertaining to flow in reservoirs. Aronofsky and Porter represented the compressibility factor and the viscosity by a linear relationship, and integrated the equation for radial flow of gas for pressures up to 1,200 psi. Bruce, Peaceman, Rachford and Rice integrated the partial differential equations for both linear and radial unsteady-state flow of ideal gas in porous media. Their published results were a substantial guide in this study of integration of the partial differential equation of linear flow with coefficients of the equation variable. The computing program was developed to treat effective permeability as being both distance-dependent and pressure-dependent. In this study all examples of effective permeability are assumptions designed primarily to aid in developing programs for giving effect to this and other variable coefficients. The accumulation of data for expressing the pressure dependency of the effective permeability is the objective of a concurrent investigation. SPEJ P. 291^

The three-dimensional stress-strain state of an isotropic plate loaded on all its surfaces is considered in the article. The initial problem is divided into two ones: symmetrical bending of the plate and a symmetrical compression of the plate, by specified loads. It is shown that the plane problem of the theory of elasticity is a special case of the second task. To solve the second task, the symmetry of normal stresses is used. Boundary conditions on plane surfaces are satisfied and harmonic conditions are obtained for some functions. Expressions of effort were found after integrating three-dimensional stresses that satisfy three equilibrium equations. For a thin plate, a closed system of equations was obtained to determine the harmonic functions. Displacements and stresses in the plate were expressed in two two-dimensional harmonic functions and a partial solution of the Laplace equation with the right-hand side, which is determined by the end loads. Three-dimensional boundary conditions were reduced to two-dimensional ones. The formula was found for experimental determination of the sum of normal stresses via the displacements of the surface of the plate.

This paper contains a solution of the problem of determining stress state in clay soil near a cylindrical and spherical cavities for the propagation of the moisture out of the cavity into the solid mass. The problem is solved in a stationary symmetric formulation taking into account changes the modulus of elasticity of soil moisture. The problem is reduced to a differential equation with variable coefficients. This complicates the solution of the problem compared with the solutions for constant modulus of elasticity, but it provides a more accurate solution.

The determination of the shape of a rotating disk under centrifugal loading is considered. It is shown that the governing differential equation for the shape of a rotating thin disk is reducible to a linear equation of second order with variable coefficients. However, the form of this equation is such that it can be treated as an equation of first order thereby facilitating the integration by quadratures. All this is possible without any additional mathematical assumptions so that the results are exact within the limitations of the thin disk theory.

AbstractIn this paper, the generalized (3+1)-dimensional variable-coefficient Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation (VCKPE), which can describe nonlinear phenomena in fluids or plasmas, is studied by using two different Clarkson and Kruskal (CK) direct methods, namely, the classical CK and the modified enlarged CK method. A similarity reduction to a (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equation and a direct similarity reduction to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation are obtained, respectively. By solving the reduced ordinary differential equation, new solitary, periodic, and singular solutions for the VCKPE are obtained. Some figures for the soliton and periodic wave solutions are given to reflect the effect of the variable coefficients on the solution propagation. Finally, the comparison between the two different CK techniques indicates that the modified enlarged CK technique is clearly more powerful and simple than the classical CK technique.
