Abstract: In order to improve the cuttings removal performance of reaming pneumatic impactors in hard layers, the computational fluid mechanics theory and Fluent simulation software were employed to find out a design method based on the critical velocity principle of cutting particles, which is related to the cuttings removal performance of reaming pneumatic impactors and then it was applied to the back-reaming pneumatic impactor. The speed distribution regularities of gas phase, the change of cutting particles’ velocity and trajectory, and the concentration distribution of cutting particles in the flow field of the back-reaming pneumatic impactor were obtained. The results showed that the cutting particles’ critical velocity of the back-reaming pneumatic impactor in the cuttings flow field is 6.02m/s. The design method related to cuttings removal performance can effectively strengthen the cuttings removal performance of the back-reaming pneumatic impactor, and the velocity of gas phase increases to 10m/s in the flow field. The time when cutting particles remain in the flow field is shortened, and the value of particle concentration distribution range in the flow field decreases from 0~100kg/m3 to 0~4kg/m3.
