Performance of a drag-reducing polymer in horizontal and downward-inclined oil–water flow

Numerical study and sensitivity analysis of two-phase oil-water flow and heat transfer in different flowline orientations using OpenFOAM

“…Several authors have reported the effect of pipe inclination angles on flow patterns [2,[43][44][45], pressure drop [44,46,47], liquid holdup [43,44,[46][47][48][49], drop velocity [48], drag-reducing polymers [50], and HTCs [41,51,52] in two-phase oil-water flows. Boostani et al carried out an experimental investigation and artificial neural network (ANN) model to resolve the HTC, and flow pattern for oil-water flows in inclined and horizontal pipes.…”
