  Oilfield Glossary: Term 'displacement'
This is accomplished by pumping a spacer fluid that is benign to both the first and second fluid, followed by the new fluid, down the drillstring and out the bottom of the drillstring or bit.
While the spacer and second fluid are pumped into the top of the wellbore, the first fluid is forced out of the annulus between the drillstring and the wellbore or casing.
Cement displacement is similar to definition 2 above, with the noted exception that the cement slurry would not normally be pumped out the top of the annulus, but would instead be placed in a particular location in the annulus.

Displacement is the weight of the fluid moved aside by a vessel's hull when it is floating or submerged in the fluid.
This yields the volume in displacement tonnage of the portion of the hull that displaces fluid and the volume in displacement tonnage of fluid displaced.
The volume of the fluid displaced is a percentage of the hull's displacement.

 Chaoying Jiao, Ph
The displacement is observed by traversing the box, at various levels, with a laser light sheet and video taping the movement of the dyed front.
The most remarkable characteristic of miscible unstable fluid displacements in porous media is the nonlinear effect of density difference, viscosity contrast and heterogeneity and the nonlinearity covers the whole range of length scale.
As a rigorous theoretical description for miscible unstable fluid flow in porous media does not exist, an extension of the classical advection-dispersion equation for a passive solute (viscosity and density effect can be neglected) is commonly used, where the density and viscosity effect are included in the lumped dispersion coefficient.

 Displacement (fluid) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An object that sinks completely displaces an amount of fluid equal to the object's volume; Archimedes' Principle states that when this happens, the weight of the object is reduced by its volume times the density of the fluid.
Displacement is often used as a measure of the size of ships.
The size of a naval ship typically is reported as the number of long tons of water she displaces, but the measure is less often used for passenger ships or cargo ships.

 Positive Displacement Flowmeters
Positive displacement flowmeters measure the volumetric flow of fluids in pipes, such as water, hydrocarbons, cryogenic liquids, and chemicals.
Using positive displacement flowmeters in abrasive or dirty fluids can cause maintenance problems because of potential damage to the sealing surfaces, damage to the bearings, and/or plugging of the flowmeter.
Make sure that the viscosity of the operating fluid is similar to that of the calibrated fluid, because the different amounts of slip exhibited by different fluids can cause measurement error.

 Left or Right Displaced Abomasum and Abomasal Volvulus - The Merck Veterinary Manual
It is primarily the fundus and greater curvature of the abomasum that become displaced, which in turn causes displacement of the pylorus and duodenum.
Spontaneous fluid splashing or gas tinkling sounds may be heard on auscultation of the area of the ping or on simultaneous ballottement and auscultation of the abdomen (succussion).
For displacement or volvulus, diagnosis is based on the presence of the characteristic ping on simultaneous auscultation and percussion and excluding other causes of left- or right-sided pings.

The study of fluid-fluid displacement in porous media is of great interest both from a fundamental scientific point of view, and from the point of view of practical engineering applications.
In particular, slow two-phase flow in porous rocks is of interest to the oil industry since the displacement of one fluid by another is the primary mechanism by which hydrocarbons are produced from porous underground reservoirs.

The critical parameter for instability is either a Capillary number (CA) describing the ratio of the destabilizing viscous forces to the surface tension (if surface tension is the dominant stabilizing factor) or a Gravity number (Gr) as the ratio of the destabilizing viscous forces to gravity (if gravity is the dominant stabilizing influence).
Most research demonstrates that the critical capillary (CA) or Gravity (Gr) number decreases rather sharply when the displaced fluid is highly elastic, although the literature is not uniform on this point.
In the second case of viscous fluids displacing air, the interface is stable for Newtonian fluids.

 Process Pump & Seal Training - Process & Industrial Training Technology
Prior to selecting positive displacement pumps for a given application a complete and thorough understanding of basic hydraulic principles must be understood to determine the work required by the pumps to accomplish the task at hand.
Many positive displacement pumps are reciprocating in nature and impart waves of pressure in forms of dramatic changes fluid velocities between strokes.
Considered by many to be the more complex to apply due to their application involving viscous, shear sensitive, products and to create a vacuum on the suction side to lift fluids, positive displacement pumps usually require an individual to address numerous parameters not required in centrifugal pump selection.
