Calculation modes
Declared mode
Surface + string + bit + annular friction with an ECD profile.
Segmented pressure model
Calculated system
Rheology equation family
The model and annulus approximation are user selections. The worksheet never switches models automatically.
User-entered ECD limits
Bit nozzles
Editable count, diameter, and discharge coefficient.
Surface-to-bit segments
Order rows from surface to bit. TVD increments build the ECD profile.

Calculation observations
Drillpipe in open hole includes transitional flow; the worksheet linearly interpolates between the published regime boundaries.
Static single-phase result only; cuttings, rotation, transient effects, temperature/pressure rheology, local tool losses, and MPD effects are excluded.
