A Mechanistic Model of Predicting Solid Particle Erosion on the Symmetry Plane of Elbows for Annular Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the transportation process of oil and gas, solid particle erosion in pipelines is an inevitable problem. The erosion usually occurs in fittings with changing flow directions, such as elbows. A theoretical model based ...
A Mechanistic Model of Liquid Film Movements in Pipe Elbows for Annular Flow
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A mechanistic model of film movements is developed based on the treatments on the annular flow field. The initial conditions at the inlet are determined by adopting a validated film thickness correlation of fully developed ...
Investigation of Three-Dimensional Wake Width for Offshore Wind Turbines Under Complex Environmental Conditions by Large Eddy Simulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The wake of wind turbines is a main concern for offshore wind farms, in which the wake width is a key index and needs to be accurately predicted. However, the existing wake width models have shortcomings in predicting the ...
Loading Rate Effect on the Pullout Capacity of OMNI-Max Anchors in Clay Coupled With Multiple Factors
