A method for designing a drill bit comprising modeling a domain between a drill bit and a surrounding wellbore. A region is defined within each of a plurality of flow paths through which fluid travels through the domain. An allocation of flow among the plurality of flow paths through the domain is determined and the drill bit is modified such that the allocation of flow is substantially uniform among the plurality of flow paths. A drill bit comprises a bit body having a plurality of blades projecting there from, wherein at least one blade has a greater length than at least one other blade. A plurality of nozzles, or ports, are disposed on the body and a plurality of junk slots are formed between adjacent blades so that the flow of fluid through each of the plurality of junk slots is substantially uniform.
