The application of the generalized Roe scheme to the numerical simulation of two-phase flow models requires a fast and robust computation of the absolute value of the system matrix. In several models such as the two-fluid model or a general multi-field model, this matrix has a non trivial eigenstructure and the eigen decomposition is often ill conditioned. We give two general algorithms avoiding the diagonalization process: an iterative computation, which turns out to be an exact computation, and an interpolation algorithm which is faster and can handle the case of complex eigenvalues. The knowledge of the characteristic polynomial gives us an easy access to the eigenvalues but however, the iterative scheme can be used with only estimates of the eigenvalues, using for example Gershgorin’s disk localization. We finally show some numerical results of two-fluid model simulations involving interfacial pressure and virtual mass force models.

A simulation model for the direct contact condensation of steam in subcooled water is presented that allows determination of major parameters of the process, such as the jet penetration length. Entrainment of water by the steam jet is modeled based on the Kelvin–Helmholtz and Rayleigh–Taylor instability theories. Primary atomization due to acceleration of interfacial waves and secondary atomization due to aerodynamic forces account for the initial size of entrained droplets. The resulting steam-water two-phase flow is simulated based on a one-dimensional two-fluid model. An interfacial area transport equation is used to track changes of the interfacial area density due to droplet entrainment and steam condensation. Interfacial heat and mass transfer rates during condensation are calculated using the two-resistance model. The resulting two-phase flow equations constitute a system of ordinary differential equations, which is solved by means of the explicit Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg algorithm. The simulation results are in good qualitative agreement with published experimental data over a wide range of pool temperatures and mass flow rates.

Summary A great deal of research has been focused on transient two-phase flow in wellbores. However, there is lack of a comprehensive two-fluid model in the literature. In this paper, we present an implementation of a pseudo-compositional, thermal, fully implicit, transient two-fluid model for two-phase flow in wellbores. In this model, we solve gas/liquid mass balance, gas/liquid momentum balance, and two-phase energy balance equations to obtain five primary variables: liquid velocity, gas velocity, pressure, holdup, and temperature. This simulator can be used as a stand-alone code or can be used in conjunction with a reservoir simulator to mimic wellbore/reservoir dynamic interactions. In our model, we consider stratified, bubbly, intermittent, and annular flow regimes using appropriate closure relations for interphase and wall-shear stress terms in the momentum equations. In our simulation, we found that the interphase and wall-shear stress terms for different flow regimes can significantly affect the model's results. In addition, the interphase momentum transfer terms mainly influence the holdup value. The outcome of this research leads to a more accurate simulation of multiphase flow in the wellbore and pipes, which can be applied to the surface facility design, well-performance optimization, and wellbore damage estimation.
