among the all parameters affecting the performance of a downhole de-oiling hydrocyclone, the investigation of internal flow field deserves more attempts especially in the petroleum industry. in this study, the effects of inlet flow rate, inlet oil volume fraction, and oil droplet diameter on the separation efficiency and pressure drop ratio have been investigated along the hydrocyclone body. al...

b a c k ground: csf is a clear liquid that its mechanical properties are to a large extent similar to water properties. regarding the lack of a numerical index for diagnosis of diseases resulting from increased csf pressure such as hydrocephalus, evaluation of hydrodynamic conditions of csf in cerebral ventricular system is of great importance. methods: at first, the diagram of velocity in sylv...

in this article, dynamics of the cerebrospinal fluid (csf) was studied, using computational fluid dynamics. using mri images of two special cases, a 2-dimensional model of the ventricular system was made. csf velocity and pressure distribution in ventricular system have high importance since the flow pattern of this liquid has an important effect on intracranial pressure, i.e., icp, which has a...

cementing is an essential part of every drilling operation. protection of the wellbore from formation fluid invasion is one of the primary tasks of a cement job. failure in this task results in catastrophic events, such as blow outs. hence, in order to save the well and avoid risky and operationally difficult remedial cementing, slurry must be optimized to be resistant against gas migration phe...

use of tailor-welded blanks (twbs) in production has significant advantages such as weight and cost reduction. however, their application requires processes that increase their poor formability in comparison to base materials. one of these procedures is the use of fluid pressure in sheet metal forming. in this paper hydro-mechanical deep drawing process of tailor-welded low carbon steel (st12) ...

Oil production may be accompanied by Sand Production (SP) in the weak sandstone reservoirs. Fluid flow is an important factor in transporting the separated grains and completing the SP mechanism. In this paper, the effect of fluid parameters, fluid flow, and fluid pressure on the SP is investigated by applying the Discrete Element Method (DEM). Parametric studies show that fluid velocity is red...

in this paper, the fluid-structure interaction phenomenon and the research history are described. then due to the complex and specific working conditions of a turbine blade, we have investigated the phenomenon on this subject. the fluid-structure interaction on a turbine blade model has been simulated by using structural and fluid flow section of ansys software. a model of turbine blade with ai...

A synthesis of well logs was carried out and drilling mud weight data were analyzed to figure out anomalous high fluid pressure within the Triassic evaporitic cap rock (the Dashtak formation) and study its impact on the geometry of anticlinal traps in the gas rich Gavbandi province located in the southeast part of the Zagros Mountains. The results indicated that the location of anticlinal traps...
