Pore-scale velocity measurements can be achieved by using micro particle shadow velocimetry (µ-PSV). Characteristic properties of a flow are, however, best investigated and described the pressure distribution in field. At pore scale, applying direct measurement techniques comes with significant challenges. By detailed theoretical relations that suit field under study, determined. This study demonstrates application image-based approaches to investigate multi-phase single droplet. Experiments...
ABSTRACT The design of Flow Control Devices (FCDs) requires performance data an FCD’s internal nozzle under a wide range flow scenarios. current study specifically considers the effect diameter and wall profile on induced pressure loss, subsequently recovery FCD. For this study, measurement facility is developed to test different orifice/nozzle geometries. single- two-phase fluid at various rates mass fractions, experimented. drop from experiments used produce curves that characterize loss...
Abstract Various slotted liners geometries are used to control the sand production in SAGD operations. The geometry of a slot (shape and size) not only affect but it may also influence fine deposition scaling at entrance. Failure wells due particles is an important issue that needs be investigated pore scale. This study provides fundamental understanding fines transport plugging potential entrance slots on liners. Three profiles including straight shape, keystone shape seamed (rolled top)...
A predictive model is developed for the pressure loss coefficient a viscous flow through rectangular orifice on pipe-installed thick plate. The based 1-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation and an asymptotic increase in velocity modeled to have direct relation with convergence near-inlet region. Here, increases asymptotically from steady mean upstream value velocity. This phenomenon represented by parameter, ϕ, used transition quantify length of zone. static drop measured experimentally varying...
Abstract Complex engineering systems often require extensive coordination between different expert areas in order to avoid costly design iterations and rework. Cyber-physics system (CPS) methods could provide valuable insights help model these interactions optimize the of such systems. In this work, steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), a complex oil extraction process that requires deep understanding several physical-chemical phenomena, is examined whereby complexities interdependencies...
