Abstract: Turbulent flow in concentric and eccentric annuli is numerically simulated as part of an investigation aimed at modeling drilled cuttings transport in wellbores. A numerical code is developed ...

Abstract: An anisotropic form of a low-Reynolds-number two-equation turbulence model has been implemented in a numerical solution for incompressible turbulent flow between corotating parallel disks. Transport ...

Abstract: Several mechanistic models have been already developed for predicting the onset of liquid carryover in gas-liquid cylindrical cyclone (GLCC) separators. However, currently no model is available ...

Abstract: Parabolic flows in which the pressure variation in the streamwise (or marching) direction is unknown a priori include internal thin shear layers, shock-boundary layer interactions, and inverse ...

Abstract: CO2 corrosion in carbon steel piping systems can be severe depending on a number of factors including CO2 content, water chemistry, temperature, and percent water cut. For many oil and gas ...

Abstract: The presence of free gas at the pump intake adversely affects the performance of an electrical submersible pump (ESP) system, often resulting in low efficiency and causing operational problems. ...

Abstract: A semi-empirical procedure has been developed for predicting erosion rates in pipe geometries, such as elbows and tees. The procedure can be used to estimate safe operating conditions and ...
