Estimation of the value of leaks through a through defect of the pipeline when using in-pipe repair elements

The loss of hydrocarbons when using in-pipe repair elements is determined by the nature of the fluid flow in the gap between the pipe and the repair sleeve. An accurate analytical calculation of the flow parameters for a real sleeve, taking into account its length, the asymmetry of the defect and other design features, is very difficult. In this article, the problem of accurate calculation of the radial flow of a viscous incompressible fluid in a thin layer between two annular plates simulating a circular region with a center coincide with a pipeline defect is solved. The area consists of two circles formed by the pipeline wall with a through defect and the surface of the internal repair element. The results obtained will allow us for accurate calculations in the area adjacent to the defect of the pipe and approximate calculations for the whole repair element.

Geological Information

For the first time the importance of mineralogical and lithological-petrographical ranks in the line of geological information ranks is substantiated for implementation of long-term forecasts, standard and non-standard approaches to research of physical and geochemical parameters as a basis of creation of complex system of forecast criteria and prospecting indicators of hydrocarbons within the sedimentary cover of Black sea based on the theory of global fluid-flows derivation. These criteria have different sensitivity to the object (hydrocarbon deposits) and are therefore ranked. The ranking determined the following parameters: 1) seismic data within the object, obtained by the method of deep seismic sounding, RWM SDP; 2) parameters of tectono-geodynamic structures; 3) the main characteristics of sedimentary cover and bedrock; 4) geochemical characteristics; 5) parameters of mineral complexes and fluid inclusions in mineral neoformations; 6) the value of the distribution of meiobenthos. Based on modern views of oil and gas geology, structural-tectonic and lithological-facies criteria are among the main ones. The study of the mineralogical component of sediments is made with using mineralogical, thermobarogeochemical and X-ray spectral methods. Fixation of anomalies of fluid flow at the bottom of the Black Sea as to the distribution of abiotic parameters in order to assess the prospects of oil and gas is determined by structural and tectonic features and high permeability of fluid flow; parameters of mineral complexes (minerals, facies) and genetic connections; heterogeneity of geochemical characteristics of bottom sediments; the presence of hydrocarbon inclusions in authigenic minerals of bottom sediments.

The main objective of this paper is to offer a comprehensive study regarding solar radiation and MHD effects on 3D boundary layer Jeffery fluid flow over a non-uniform stretched sheet along with variable thickness, porous medium and chemical reaction of first order are assumed. The system of equations representing temperature, velocity and concentration fields are converted into dimensionless form by introducing dimensionless variables. Thereafter, the aforesaid equations are solved with the help of BVP4C in MATLAB. The numerical results obtained through this scheme are more accurate when compared with those in the existing literature. In order to have a pictorial representation, the effects of material and flow parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented through graphs. Moreover, the numerical values of heat and mass transfer rate and skin friction coefficient are given in tabular form. It is evident from the acquired results, that the velocity offers two fold behavior for variable thickness parameter that is, n < 1 close and away from the non-uniform surface. It is also noted that the axial and transverse velocities show an increasing behavior for Deborah number while the fluid temperature and concentration shows opposite behavior at the same time.

Unique Approach

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.

AbstractThe principal objective of the present paper is to know the reaction of thermal radiation and the effects of magnetic fields on a viscous dissipative free convection fluid flow past an inclined infinite plate in the presence of an induced magnetic field. The Galerkin finite element technique is applied to solve the nonlinear coupled partial differential equations and effects of thermal radiation and other physical and flow parameters on velocity, induced magnetic field, along with temperature profiles are explained through graphs. It is noticed that as the thermal radiation increases velocity and temperature profiles decrease and the induced magnetic field profiles increases.

Fluid Flow Characteristics

A series of experimental investigations with a stringent measurement method on the fluid flow characteristics of slot jet without or with a target surface have been successfully conducted. From all the fluid velocity data measured in the present study, the experimental conditions have been verified to be spanwise-symmetrically maintained and the results have been achieved in a spanwise-symmetric form. Three types of jet configuration without or with target surface are investigated: (A) Confined Slot Jet without Target Surfaces – the fluid flow parameters studied in the present investigation is the jet Reynolds number (ReD). Its ranges are ReD=506-1517. (B) Confined Slot Jet with Smooth Surfaces – the fluid flow parameters studied in the present investigation include the ratio of jet separation distance (H) to nozzle width (W) and the jet Reynolds number (ReD). The ranges of the relevant parameters are H/W=2–10 and ReD=504–1526. (C) Confined Slot Jet with Extended Surfaces – the fluid flow parameters studied include the ratio of jet separation distance (H) to nozzle width (W), the Reynolds number (ReD) and the ratio of extended surface height (Hes) to nozzle width (W). Their ranges are H/W=3–10, Hes/W=0.74-3.40 and ReD=501–1547. The flow characteristics such as the local mean streamwise velocity distribution, mean streamwise velocity decay along jet centerline, local jet turbulence intensity distribution, and turbulence intensities along jet centerline have been presented and discussed in the study.

Gap Spacing

This work presents the numerical investigations performed to study the proximity effects on fluid flow characteristics around three inline square cylinders using the lattice Boltzmann method. For this purpose the gap spacing (g) is systematically varied in the range 0.5 to 16 diameters of cylinder by keeping Reynolds number fixed at 200. Five different flow patterns are observed at different values of spacing: bluff body flow, gap trapped flow, irregular flow, alternate shedding, and modulated shedding. These patterns have a significant effect on flow induced forces and vortex shedding frequency. The spacing value g = 2 is found to be critical due to sudden changes in fluid flow characteristics. The flow parameters of first cylinder are found to be closer to single cylinder values but for middle and third cylinder the differences confirm the wake interference effect even at large values of spacing.
