This study presents results from detailed experiments of the two-phase pressurized flow behavior during the rapid filling of a large-scale pipeline. The physical scale of this experiment is close to the practical situation in many industrial plants. Pressure transducers, water level meters, thermometers, void fraction meters and flow meters were used to measure the two-phase unsteady flow dynam...

In order to better model complex real-world data such as multiphase flow, one approach is to develop pattern recognition techniques and robust features that capture the relevant information. In this paper, we use deep learning methods, and in particular employ the multilayer perceptron, to build an algorithm that can predict flow pattern in twophase flow from fluid properties and pipe condition...

A high pressure drop happens when heavy oil with high viscosity moves through the oil pipeline. A variety of methods to avoid this pressure drop is available. One of which is injection of chemicals to reduce the viscosity and ultimately reduce pressure drop. Using the pipesim software, the effect of dispersion of nano and micro-particles into the oil has been simulated to study the amount of th...

by means of he's homotopy perturbation method (hpm) an approximate solution of velocity eld is derived for the ow in straight pipes of non-newtonian uid obeying the sisko model. the nonlinear equations governing the ow in pipe are for- mulated and analyzed, using homotopy perturbation method due to he. furthermore, the obtained solutions for velocity eld is graphically sketched and compared w...

Heightfield methods, such as the pipe method and shallow water equations (SWE), have often been used to simulate large areas of water. Of these, the SWE are often preferred due to being more realistic, but they are also more complex and demand more computational resources than the pipe method. These two methods were presented to over 40 subjects in both a gaming and a video context to see wheth...

Water supply systems are mainly classified into branched and looped network systems. The main difference between these two systems is that, in a branched network system, the flow within each pipe is a known value, whereas in a looped network system, the flow in each pipe is considered an unknown value. Therefore, an analysis of a looped network system is a more complex task. This study aims to ...

The sound generation of an organ pipe is a very complex physical process, since the acoustical phenomena take place coupled with fluid flow effects. Even so, by modeling the organ pipe merely as an acoustic resonator, one can predict several key parameters of the sounding with sufficient accuracy. The aim of this article is to examine the simulation techniques that can be used for organ pipe mo...

gas-lift pumps are devices for lifting liquid phase incorporating the gas phase to be injected in the bottom of liquid column. they are widely used in various industrial applications such as oil extracting in petroleum industries. gas-liquid flow being the main part of the flow through these systems, flowing in vertical pipes of gas-lift pumps has different regimes namely bubbly, slug, churn an...

The Inject Pipe Mixer (IPM) are being used as venturi injectors and can also homogenize two fluids. The entry of secondary fluid as a jet influences flow field in the device. A CFD simulation of flow through an IPM (Lshape) has been carried out using ANSYS CFX 11.0 using water as the flowing fluid to understand the flow field under turbulent flow conditions using standard k--ε model. The result...
