CFD study and experimental validation of low liquid-loading flow assurance in oil and gas transport: studying the effect of fluid properties and operating conditions on flow variables

Abstract: Low liquid-loading flow frequently occurs during the transport of gas products in various industries, such as in the Oil & Gas, the Food, and the Pharmaceutical Industries. Even small amounts of liquid can have a significant effect on the flow conditions inside the pipeline, such as increased pressure loss, pipe wall stresses and corrosion, and liquid holdup along the pipeline. However, most studies that analyze this type of flow only use atmospheric pressures and horizontal 1-in or 2-in pipes, which do not ac… Show more

“…A pressure-based solver was implemented, using the Pressure Implicit with Splitting of Operators (PISO) algorithm for the velocity-pressure coupling. A schematic of the general solver algorithm of this iteration with a VOF formulation is described in [18]. All equations were spatially discretized with a second-order upwind scheme, except for the pressure.…”

“…By its definition, the flow velocity of a point in a streamline (s) is always tangential to the streamline [28] (pp. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. At the same time, we can imagine the elongation rate as the rate of change of velocity (u s ) in the direction of the velocity [29].…”
