chemical, and mechanical behavior of drilling fluid is critical for successful drilling operation. In order to
characterize it, permeability plugging test is carried out. But there are certain limitations of this
experiment. As the actual field condition cannot be simulated at laboratory scale experiments, there is a
need to replicate the same laboratory experiments in numerical models with significant accuracy. After
achieving, the desired accuracy of this numerical model, the upscaling of the same numerical model can
be used to predict the behavior of drilling fluid with significant accuracy.
The current study uses our past laboratory experiments and a genuine effort has been made to model
the permeability plugging test using Fluent package of ANSYS. This paper includes the procedure and
results on filtrate and filter-cake characteristics obtained during the laboratory experiments to validate
the numerical model. First of all, a comparison between existing numerical models and our current
model has been studied to verify the accuracy of our model. Then the model has been extended to
characterize the laboratory conditions. Good agreement was observed in comparison of the simulation's
results with experimental data.

By using the corrective smoothed particle hydrodynamic method (CSPM), the number of points included in the calculations can be easily increased or decreased to achieve more computationally efficient results at unknown points. This method is implemented to derive hurricane time histories from published H*Wind datasets or other regularly or irregularly distributed wind data for any desired location. This paper presents the CSPM methodology to interpolate data points and extract a wind hazard time history from published H*Wind datasets.

The State of Louisiana's vision was to produce a hazard mitigation plan that is an educational and easy to read for the average person. Valuable functions of the plan:
Demonstrates the State's commitment to reduce risks from natural hazards.
Documents Louisiana's progress in identifying risks and mitigating against the effects of natural and manmade disasters.
Serves as a reference document for local government officials as they develop local hazard mitigation plans.
Serves as a reference document to Louisiana citizens
