Inspired by industrial processes in oil and gas well plugging and abandonment (P) operations, this study investigates the injection of heavy, thick fluids into lighter fluids. By experimenting and analyzing flow behaviors using dimensionless numbers such as Reynolds number, Froude number, inclination angle, Bingham number, and viscosity ratio, we identified different flow regimes such as stable and unstable slumping, separation, and mixing. These findings offer valuable insights for improving fluid flow analysis in applications like 3D printing and other industrial processes.
