Mathematical Modelling of Oil Pipeline Leakages Using Computational Fluid Dynamics - Case of BIDCO Oil Processing Refinery, Uganda.

Abstract: The leakage flow phenomena of a refinery oil pipe with a leakage point is numerically studied with the purpose to minimize oil leakage using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach. Among consequences of oil pipe leakages are losses as a result of property loss (oil), cost of pipe replacement and also death due to fire or explosion. To understand the leakage phenomena, pipe characteristics at the leakage orifice are necessary. In the simulation, considering a pipe with a leak orifice of 0.002m, diameter 0.… Show more

“…It is unreasonable to think of pipelines as being 100% safe. Thus, the main question to confront is whether the pipeline is safe enough, and will the public accept the risk associated with the operation of the pipeline (Wateya et al, 2022). Studies that have been conducted so far regarding energy transmission risk assessment are performed by different approaches, and each of these methods highlights a certain parameter in risk assessment.…”
