Flow Pattern Transition

An experimental study was conducted on the air-water two-phase flow patterns in the bed of rectangular cross sections containing spheres of regular distribution. Three kinds of glass spheres with different diameters (3 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm) were used for the establishment of the test section. By means of visual observations of the two-phase flow through the test section, it was discovered that five different flow patterns occurred within the experimental parameter ranges, namely, bubbly flow, bubbly-slug flow, slug flow, slug-annular flow, and annular flow. A correlation for the bubble and slug diameter in the packed beds was proposed, which was an extended expression of the Tung/Dhir model, Jamialahmadi’s model, and Schmidt’s model. Three correlations were proposed to calculate the void friction of the flow pattern transition in bubble flow, slug flow, and annular flow based on the bubble model in the pore region. The experimental result showed that the modified Tung and Dhir model of the flow pattern transition was in better agreement with the experimental data compared with Tung and Dhir’s model.

An experimental study was conducted on the air-water two-phase flow patterns and pressure drop in the bed of rectangular cross section containing spheres of regular distribution. Three kinds of glass spheres with different diameters (3mm, 6mm and 8mm) were used for the establishment of the test section. By means of visual observations of the two-phase flow through the test section, it was discovered that five different flow patterns occur in the experimental parameter ranges, namely bubbly flow, bubbly-slug flow, slug flow, slug-annular flow and annular flow. A correlation for bubble and slug diameter in packed beds was proposed, which is an extension of the Tung/Dhir model, Jamialahmadi’s model and Schmidt’s model. Three correlations were proposed to calculate the void friction of flow regime transition in bubble flow, slug flow and annular flow based on the bubble model in the pore region. The experimental result shows that the modified Tung and Dhir’s model of flow pattern transition is a better agreement with the experimental data compared with Tung and Dhir’s model.

Operational Conditions

Two-phase vertical flows are of utmost importance for petroleum production, since underground petroleum reservoirs produce oil and gas simultaneously, which must flow together upward to the sea floor through wells, and from these to the production floating units through suspended pipes (risers). Along the pipelines, the mixture of oil and gas may develop several flow patterns — such as bubble, slug, churn and annular flow. These physical configurations present specific characteristics that demand distinct modeling of the head loss as a function of the flow rate. The correct characterization of the flow patterns, under given operational conditions, is fundamental to the modeling of the dynamics of the flow and to the relation between head loss and flow rate. In the literature, most studies on the establishment of the flow patterns have been carried with water and air, and have been restricted to the case of static pipes, while production risers are in constant movement due to the action of waves, sea currents and the displacement of the floating production unit. In the present work, an experimental study of vertical two-phase flow of water and air is conducted with the oscillatory movement of a long and slender flexible vertical pipe of 8,0 m of length and 25,4 mm of diameter. The head loss is measured for different frequencies of oscillation. Comparisons are made between the static and oscillating pipe, with regard to the flow patterns and head losses. The effect of the frequency of oscillation is detected.
