Abstract A model for single-phase fluid flow in tight UCRs was previously produced by modifying the flow Forchheimer’s equation. The new modification addresses the fluid transport phenomena into three scales incorporating a diffusion term. In this study, a new liner model, numerically solved, has been developed and deployed for a gas huff and puff project. The new model has been numerically validated and verified using synthetic data and huff and puff case study. Ideally, the new model suits fluid flow in tight UCRs. The modified Forchheimer’s model presented is solved using the MATLAB numerical method for linear multiphase flow. For the huff & puff case, very simple profiles and flow dynamics of the main flow parameters have been established and a thorough parametric analysis and verifications were performed. It has been observed that the diffusion system becomes more prominent in regulating flow velocity with low permeability of the formation rock and low viscosity of the flowing fluid. The findings indicate a behavioral alignment with a previous hypothesis that matches actual reservoir behavior.

The article deals with the design and testing of a computational model for multi-body contact of deformable bodies in the flowing fluid. The computational model will be designed to allow easy modify the impact area of deformable bodies and their shape. The computational model must allow the application of an endless cycle of bodies impact with the possibility of restarting and calculating the following time intervals for collision of bodies.

Producing hydrocarbon from deep water assets is extremely challenging and expensive. A good estimate of rates from multiple pay zones is essential for well monitoring, surveillance, and workover decisions. Such information can be gleaned from flowing fluid pressure and temperature; deep-water wells are often well instrumented that offers such data on a continuous basis. In this study a model is presented that estimates zonal flow contributions based on energy and momentum balances. Kinetic and heat energy coming from the reservoir fluid to the production tubing is accounted for in the model. The momentum balance for wellbore takes into account differing flow profile in laminar and turbulent flows. In addition, when sandface temperature data are not available, a recently developed analytical model to estimate the effect of Joule-Thompson expansion on sandface temperature was used to estimate sandface temperature from reservoir temperature. The model developed can be applied to any reservoir with multiple pay zones and is especially useful for deep-water assets where production logging is practically impossible. Available field data for multiphase flow was used to validate the model. Sensitivity analyses were performed that showed accurate temperature data is essential for the model to estimate zonal contribution accurately.

The unstable phenomena of thin cylindrical shells subjected to annular axial flow are investigated. In this paper, the analytical model is composed of an elastic axisymmetric shell and a rigid one which are arranged co-axially. Considering the fluid structure interaction between shells and fluid flowing through an annular narrow passage, the coupled equation of motion is derived using Flu¨gge’s shell theory and Navier-Stokes equations. The unstable phenomena of thin cylindrical shells are clarified by using the root locus based on the complex eigenvalue analysis. The numerical parameter studies on the shells with a freely supported end and a rigid one, and with both simply supported ends, are performed taking the dimensins of shells, the characteristics of flowing fluid so on as parameters. The influence of these parameters on the threshold of instability of the coupled vibration between thin cylindrical shells and annular axial flowing fluid are investigated and discussed.

The one-dimensional steady-state temperature distribution within an isotropic porous bed subjected to a collimated and/or diffuse radiation heat flux and a transparent flowing fluid has been determined by numerical methods. The porous bed was assumed to be nonscattering and to have a constant absorption coefficient. Part of the radiation absorbed by the porous bed is reradiated and the remainder is transferred to the fluid by convection. Due to the assumed finite volumetric heat transfer coefficient, the bed and fluid have different temperatures. A bed with an optical depth of six and with a normal incident collimated radiation heat flux was investigated in detail. The radiation incident on the bed at the fluid exit was assumed to originate from a black surface at the fluid exit temperature. The investigation covered the range of incident diffuse and collimated radiation heat fluxes expected in a nonconcentrating solar energy collector. The results are presented in terms of a bed collection efficiency from which the fluid temperature rise can be calculated.
