The slurry jet pump with scouring nozzle system can be used in dredging of sites, which are difficult to access or need handling of equipments that are used for the intake of pumping stations under bridges and concrete water channels. This system is suitable for sand, silt, sludge, mud, and other organic materials. The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of water and slurry jet pumps. The effects of the pump-operating conditions and geometries on its performance were investigated. The experimental rig was constructed in such a way that the driving nozzle diameter can be changed. In this study, three different diameters of driving nozzles, 10, 12.7, and 16 mm, have been used with one mixing chamber of 25.4 mm diameter (i.e. three different area ratios of R = 0.155, 0.25, and 0.4). Also, the effect of driving pressure has been investigated. The results show that increasing the area ratio decreases the maximum mass flow ratio. The results of computational fluid dynamics were found to agree well with actual values obtained from the experimental water and slurry jet pump.

Nondimensional parameters to represent air-solids jet pump performance has been defined and used in the analytical procedure. The performance predictions obtained by this model show good agreement with experimental results.

Air-jet pump as the pneumatic source of a vehicle-mounted vacuum toilet provides the vacuum to pump the fecal sewage out of toilet bowl via the compressed air passing through the pump under certain pressure. In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique is employed to investigate the effects of three important air-jet pump geometry parameters: the primary Nozzle Exit Position (NXP), the constant-area section length (L1) and the diffuser diverging angle (θ), on its performance. A CFD model is firstly established according to 1D analytical method, and then used to create 135 different air-jet pump geometries and tested under different operating conditions. The significance of this study is that these findings can be used to guide the adjustment of NXP, L1 and θ to obtain the best air-jet pump performance when the operating conditions are different.

This article analyzes the possibility of increasing the efficiency of using downhole jet pumps by swirling the injected flow. To analyze the peculiarities of the local swirling of injected flow, design and technological parameters in the form of the inclination angle of guiding elements, the diameter of the helical trajectory described by the fluid particles, and the flow rates of the swirling flow are studied. Based on the application of the conservation law of fluid momentum in adjacent jets with a parabolic pressure distribution, equations to determine the pressure characteristic of a jet pump are obtained, taking into account the additional dynamic pressure made by swirling the injected flow. In the process of analyzing the obtained relations, has been set the dependence of the relative pressure growth and the efficiency of the ejection system under the conditions of injected flow swirling on the relative flow rate of a jet pump, and an inversely proportional dependence of the above parameters on its main geometric parameter in the form of the ratio of cross-sectional areas of the mixing chamber and the nozzle.

Isothermal compression of a bubbly secondary fluid in a mixing-throat and diffuser is described by a one-dimensional flow model of a liquid-jet pump. Friction-loss coefficients used in the four equations may be determined experimentally, or taken from the literature. The model reduces to the liquid-jet gas compressor case if the secondary liquid is zero. Conversely, a zero secondary-gas flow reduces the liquid-jet gas and liquid (LJGL) model to that of the familiar liquid-jet liquid pump. A “jet loss” occurs in liquid-jet pumps if the nozzle tip is withdrawn from the entrance plane of the throat, and jet loss is included in the efficiency equations. Comparisons are made with published test data for liquid-jet liquid pumps and for liquid-jet gas compressors. The LJGL model is used to explore jet pump responses to two-phase secondary flows, nozzle-to-throat area ratio, and primary-jet velocity. The results are shown in terms of performance curves versus flow ratios. Predicted peak efficiencies are approximately 50 percent. Under severe operating conditions, LJGL pump performance curves exhibit maximum-flow ratios or cut-offs. Cut-off occurs when two-phase secondary-flow streams attain sonic values at the entry of the mixing throat. A dimensionless number correlates flow-ratio cut-offs with pump geometry and operating conditions. Throat-entry choking of the secondary flow can be predicted, hence avoided, in designing jet pumps to handle two-phase fluids.

Insufficient energy performance of ejection equipment and a high probability of non-operating modes of its operation reduce the efficiency of downhole jet pumps. The method of determining the design and operating parameters of the well ejection system, which provide the maximum efficiency of the jet pump, is presented.  The proposed algorithm for determining the optimal values of the geometric dimensions of the flowing part of the jet pump involves the construction of a series of pressure characteristics for different values of its geometric parameter, the calculation of the efficiency and the determination of the injection ratio and the relative pressure corresponding to its maximum values.  During the studies, the main geometric parameter of the jet pump varied in the range from 2 to 6, given that these geometric dimensions are used in jet devices common in the oil industry. The optimal dimensions of the current part of the jet pump are obtained in the process of studying its pressure characteristics, and the optimal dimensions of the washing system of the bit - in the process of studying the characteristics of the hydraulic system. The design of an at-bit ejection system, which allows to increase the mechanical drilling speed, the passage of the bit, to stabilize the moment on the bit, to reduce its level of vibration and to control the antiaircraft angles of the well is considered. The efficiency of using at-bit jet pumps is in the following: an increase in the mechanical drilling speed up to 18.7%, the passage of the bit up to 50.8%. The research established the optimal diameters of the working nozzle, mixing chamber and bit nozzles, the distance between the working nozzle and the mixing chamber, the injection ratio and the relative pressure of the at-bit jet pump. The obtained values ​​of design and mode parameters exclude the occurrence of cavitation modes of operation of the ejection system and allow the operation of jet pumps with maximum efficiency.

The Relationship

The method of choosing geometric parameters of the well hole pump which ensures its operation in the mode of maximum efficiency is proposed. According to the algorithm developed, the ratio of the diameters of the working nozzle, the mixing chamber and the diffuser of the jet pump, as well as the distance between the nozzle and the speed equalization chamber and the axial dimensions of the flow part elements are regulated. During the process of establishing the required dimensions of the elements of the ejection system, the nature of the free working jet into the mixing chamber of the jet pump is taken into account, which determines the shape and structure of the estimated ratios governing the axial distance between the working nozzle and the resuscitation chamber of the mixing streams. The relationship between the mixing chamber diameters and the working nozzle and the amount of the jet pump coefficient of ejection which ensures its operation with the maximum possible values of the ejection system efficiency is shown. The analytical nature of the establishment of hydraulic interconnections among the elements of the ejection system is complemented by the experience of the practical use of deep jet pumps in the implementation of certain technological processes of construction, operation and repair of oil wells.

General Method

A compressible flow jet pump theory is evolved which can be more easily interpreted for design purposes than existing theories. It consists of a one-dimensional analysis based on the momentum equation and on complete mixing, used in conjunction with an over-all pressure recovery factor which is found experimentally. Tests on a small jet pump are described and from the results it is shown that the overall pressure recovery factor can be related to a single parameter in the analysis for all operating conditions of each general pump configuration. In this way a general method for the correlation of results and for the design of jet pumps is established.

Unsteady Operation

The purpose of the study is to develop a supra bit jet pump taking into account the unsteadiness of low-speed drilling for crushing the cuttings injected from the annular space under productive formation opening. The article proposes a device for drill string bottom assembly intended for the initial opening of the productive formation. The device includes a supra bit jet pump and a colmatator. The jet pump creates an additional circulation loop of the drilling fluid above the well bottom, crushes the cuttings injected from the annular space in the mixing chamber and delivers it to the colmatator. An additional circulation loop above the well bottom creates a local drawdown of the formation while maintaining the hydrostatic pressure in the well. Crushing of cuttings in the mixing chamber of the jet pump occurs due to the creation of cross flows in the jet pump. The cross flows are provided due to the angular and eccentric displacement of the working nozzle of the jet pump relative to the mixing chamber. The colmatator creates an impermeable screen on the borehole wall for temporary isolation of the productive formation under initial opening. The conducted study allowed the authors to propose head characteristics of the jet pump taking into account the angular, eccentric displacement of the working nozzle. The head characteristic of the jet pump has been developed for the unsteady operation of the jet pump in the drill string bottom assembly. The head characteristics take into account the roughness of the flow path of the jet pump. Using the head characteristics, the permissible displacements of the working nozzle of the jet pump have been determined. Recommendations for the design of jet pumps for drill string bottom assemblies are proposed.

As an alternative to the conventional intact stability criterion for floating offshore structures, known as the area-ratio-based criterion, the dynamic-response-based intact stability criteria was initially developed in the 1980s for column-stabilized drilling units and later extended to the design of floating production installations (FPIs). Both the area-ratio-based and dynamic-response-based intact stability criteria have recently been adopted for floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). In the traditional area-ratio-based criterion, the stability calculation is quasi-static in nature, with the contribution from external forces other than steady wind loads and FOWT dynamic responses captured through a safety factor. Furthermore, the peak wind overturning moment of FOWTs may not coincide with the extreme storm wind speed normally prescribed in the area-ratio-based criterion, but rather at the much smaller rated wind speed in the power production mode. With these two factors considered, the dynamic-response-based intact stability criterion is desirable for FOWTs to account for their unique dynamic responses and the impact of various operating conditions. This paper demonstrates the implementation of a FOWT intact stability assessment using the dynamic-response-based criterion. Performance-based criteria require observed behavior or quantifiable metrics as input for the method to be applied. This is demonstrated by defining the governing load cases for two conceptual FOWT semisubmersible designs at two sites. This work introduces benchmarks comparing the area-ratio-based and dynamic-response-based criteria, gaps with current methodologies, and frontier areas related to the wind overturning moment definition.
