The dispersed phase in multiphase flows can be modeled by the population balance model
(PBM). A typical population balance equation (PBE) contains terms for spatial transport …

Optical laser-based techniques and an extensive data analysis methodology have been
developed to acquire flow and separation characteristics of concentrated liquid–liquid …

Formation of a dispersed oil—water flow pattern is a common occurrence in flow lines and
pipelines. The capability of predicting the size of droplets, as well as the distribution of …

A one-dimensional mechanistic model that predicts the flow pattern transitions during the
separation of dispersed liquid-liquid flows in horizontal pipes was developed. The model is …

In this work, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model coupled with population balance
model (PBM) is applied to simulate the evolution of potassium sulphate particle growth …

In this work, the flow pattern and drop size development of kinetically unstable oil-water
dispersions is studied along a horizontal test section. Experiments with tap water and a low …

While academic literature shows steady progress in combining multi-phase computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) and population balance modelling (PBM) of emulsification processes …

Segregated and dispersed oil-water flow through horizontal pipes is persistent. However,
the prediction of operational parameters such as water volume fractions could be a difficult …

Sažetak The solid particles in oilfield water-injection pipelines with water flow will
continuously grow and change, and the oversized solid particles may block the pores of the …

Due to the current oil consumption increase, deposits have decreased drastically. Engineers
are constantly pushing the limits in order to drill deeper, convey oil further or build more …
