Study on Kinetic Characteristics of Solid-Liquid Two-Phase in Transporting Pipeline of Natural Gas Hydrate

Abstract:

Based on multiphase flow theory and calculation method, the distribution of internal multiphase flow field in the vertical rise pipeline of natural gas hydrate is simulated with FLUENT as a tool and the mixture of natural gas hydrate solid particles and water as a medium. The change rules of velocity field and volume concentration field are described and the effect of solid particles diameter, density and volume concentration of the natural gas hydrate on the pressure loss and resistance loss of pipeline is also analyzed deeply. It provides theoretical basis on transporting of natural gas hydrate solid particles by pipeline. Keywords:natural gas hydrate. pipeline. solid-liquid two-phase flow. kinetic characteristic. numerical simulation.
