simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
Influence of Geant4 parameters on dose distribution and computation time for carbon ion therapy simulation.
The aim of this work was to study the influence of Geant4 parameters on dose distribution and computational time for simulations of carbon ion therapy. The study was done using Geant4 version 9.0. The dose distribution in water for incident monoenergetic carbon ion beams of 300 MeV/u were compared for different values of secondary particle production threshold and different step limits. Variati...
