Supply Information

Production logging is used to diagnose well production problems by evaluating the flowprofile, entries of unwanted fluids and downhole flow regimes. Evaluating wells productionperformance can be easily induce from production logs through interpretation of productionlog data to provide velocity profile and contribution of each zone on total production.Production logging results supply information for reservoir modeling, provide data tooptimize the productivity of existing wells and plan drilling and completion strategies forfuture wells. Production logging was carried out in a produce oil well from Mishrif formationof West Qurna field, with the objective to determine the flow profile and fluid contributionsfrom the perforations after the stimulation job.

Complex Flow Structure

The fluid flow through a stenosed artery and its bypass graft in an anastomosis can substantially influence the outcome of bypass surgery. To help improve our understanding of this and related issues, the steady Navier-Stokes flows are computed in an idealized arterial bypass system with partially occluded host artery. Both the residual flow issued from the stenosis—which is potentially important at an earlier stage after grafting—and the complex flow structure induced by the bypass graft are investigated. Seven geometric models, including symmetric and asymmetric stenoses in the host artery, and two major aspects of the bypass system, namely, the effects of area reduction and stenosis asymmetry, are considered. By analyzing the flow characteristics in these configurations, it is found that (1) substantial area reduction leads to flow recirculation in both upstream and downstream of the stenosis and in the host artery near the toe, while diminishes the recirculation zone in the bypass graft near the bifurcation junction, (2) the asymmetry and position of the stenosis can affect the location and size of these recirculation zones, and (3) the curvature of the bypass graft can modify the fluid flow structure in the entire bypass system.

Predicting the oil well production is very important and also quite a complex mission for the petroleum engineering. Due to its complexity, the previous empirical methods could not perform well for different kind of wells, and intelligent methods are applied to solve this problem. In this paper the multi expression programming (MEP) method has been employed to build the prediction model for oil well production, combined with the phase space reconstruction technique. The MEP has shown a better performance than the back propagation networks, gene expression programming method and the Arps decline model in the experiments, and it has also been shown that the optimal state of the MEP could be easily obtained, which could overcome the over-fitting.

Fracture Models

Single fracture is the most basic element in complex fracture network of rock mass. Therefore, the study of flow characteristics of single fracture is an important way to reasonably predict the complex flow state in engineering rock mass. In order to study the flow characteristics of fractal single fracture, fracture models with dif?ferent fractal dimension and different fracture width are established in this paper. The results show that: the blocking effect of rough structure on fluid is obviously enhanced under high pressure. In addition, it is weakened and reaches a steady-state with the increase of fracture fractal dimension. The larger the fracture width is, the more obvious the phenomenon is. The hydraulic gradient index tends to 0.5 with the increase of fracture width when fractal dimension is greater than 1.3. It also could tend to 0.5 with the increase of fractal dimension when fracture width is greater than 1 mm.

Abstract A numerical study of rib augmented cooling of turbine blades is reported in this paper. The time-dependent velocity field around a pair of symmetrically placed ribs on the walls of a three-dimensional rectangular channel was studied by use of a modified version of Marker-And-Cell algorithm to solve the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes and energy equations. The flow structures are presented with the help of instantaneous velocity vector and vorticity fields, FFT and time averaged and rms values of components of velocity. The spanwise averaged Nusselt number is found to increase at the locations of reattachment. The numerical results are compared with available numerical and experimental results. The presence of ribs leads to complex flow fields with regions of flow separation before and after the ribs. Each interruption in the flow field due to the surface mounted rib enables the velocity distribution to be more homogeneous and a new boundary layer starts developing downstream of the rib. The heat transfer is primarily enhanced due to the decrease in the thermal resistance owing to the thinner boundary layers on the interrupted surfaces. Another reason for heat transfer enhancement can be attributed to the mixing induced by large-scale structures present downstream of the separation point.

This paper aims to investigate the aerodynamics including the global performance and flow characteristics of a long-shrouded contra-rotating rotor by developing a full 3D RANS computation. Through validations by current experiments on the same shrouded contra-rotating rotor, the computation using sliding mesh method and the computational zone with an extended nozzle downstream flow field effectively works; the time-averaged solution of the unsteady computation reveals that more uniform flow presents after the downstream rotor, which implies that the rear rotor rotating at opposite direction greatly compensates and reduces the wake; the unsteady computations further explore the flow field throughout the whole system, along the span and around blade tips. Complex flow patterns including the vortices and their interactions are indicated around the blade roots and tips. For further identifying rotor configurations, the rotor–rotor distance and switching two rotor speeds were studied. The computation reveals that setting the second rotor backwards decreases the wake scale but increases its intensity in the downstream nozzle zone. However, for the effect of switching speeds, computations cannot precisely solve the flow when the rear rotor under the windmill because of the upstream rotor rotating much faster than the other one. All the phenomena from computations well implement the experimental observations.

Fluid Flow Analysis

This paper investigates fluid motion generated by cilia and a pressure gradient in a curved channel. The flow analysis is carried out in the presence of heat transfer and radial magnetic field. The leading equations are simplified under the familiar suppositions of large wavelength and small Reynolds number approximations. An exact solution has been developed for the velocity profile. The flow characteristics of the viscous fluid are computed in the presence of cilia and metachronal wave velocity. The effects of several stimulating parameters on the flow and heat transfer are studied in detail through graphs. It is found that symmetry of the velocity profile is broken owing to bending of the channel. The radially varying magnetic field decreases the velocity field, but near the left ciliated wall it induces the opposite behavior. It is also found that velocity profile increases due to increase in buoyancy forces throughout the domain. Numerical consequences for velocity profile are also accessible in the table for diverse values of the physical parameters.
