Modeling of flow of two-phase mixture in curved channel pipeline

Abstract

This article describes the three-dimensional modeling of steady motion of gas and condensed phase particles of varying severity in a curvilinear orthogonal coordinate system gas channels. A numerical method for solving the equations that describe the motion of the particles, based on the difference scheme and the application of the two-level iterative process. Built multivariate mathematical model of viscous steady flow of gas and the equilibrium of hydrate particles in axisymmetric taking into account transport and energy dissipation. Obtained pressure field in the pipe by solving the model equations using SIMPLE method. Numerical calculations of the velocity field of the gas and the dispersed phase, the trajectory of the mass flow deposited on particles of different sizes with the wall during the wet gas in the curved pipe. The calculation of particle trajectories in different kinds of process equipment show at the option of either abrasive wear parts located in a stream, or an intense build-up and accumulation of hydrates. The results can be applied in the analysis of impact of solid particles of various sizes on the elements of gas pipelines
