Investigation on Flow Characteristics of Deposited Water Displaced by Flowing Oil in Hilly Terrain Tube

Article Preview

Abstract:

The flow characteristics of deposited water displaced by flowing oil in hilly terrain tube were studied experimentally and numerically. Lab-scale experiments were carried out on the transparent organic glass test loop with I.D. 50 mm to investigate the distributions of oil-water interface by diesel flowing from a lower horizontal test section into the up-inclined test section. Two-dimensional numerical simulation was conducted by VOF model and CSF model based on the test geometrical model. Comparisons of the oil-water interface distribution and the critical superficial oil velocity show that the numerical simulations favorably compare with the measurements.
