Multiphase flow and tromp curve simulation of dense medium cyclones using Computational Fluid Dynamics

Dense Medium Cyclone is a high capacity device that is widely used in coal preparation. It is simple in design but the swirling turbulent flow, the presence of medium and coal with different density and size fraction and the presence of the air-core make the flow pattern in DMCs complex. In this article the flow pattern simulation of DMC is performed with computational fluid dynamics and Fluent...

Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation of Multiphase Flow in Structured Packings

A volume of fluid multiphase flowmodel was used to investigate the effective area and the created liquid film in the structured packings. The computational results revealed that the gas and liquid flow rates play significant roles in the effective interfacial area of the packing. In particular, the effective area increases as the flow rates of both phases increase. Numerical results were compar...

Fluid Mechanics and Multiphase Flow in Pipelines

Parallel computation for reservoir thermal simulation of multicomponent and multiphase fluid flow

We consider parallel computing technology for the thermal simulation of multicomponent, multiphase fluid flow in petroleum reservoirs. This paper reports the development and applications of a parallel thermal recovery simulation code. This code utilizes the message passing interface (MPI) library, overlapping domain decomposition, and dynamic memory allocation techniques. Its efficiency is inve...
