The purpose of particles impact drilling is to increase the rate of penetration when drilling extra-hard and strong-abrasive rocks, where supposed to be time-consuming and costly. Now the technology becomes the world’s most potential drilling technology for deep wells and ultra-deep well. The most important part of the drilling technology is the nozzle which accelerate the particles. The paper introduces the basic four types of the nozzles, and researches the acceleration effect of nozzles based on FLUENT. By concluding the simulation, put up a new structure of nozzle, and simulates the acceleration of the particle of different drilling fluid and particles inlet velocities, discusses how the length of accelerating cavity affect the acceleration.
