Multiphase flows are witnessed often in nature and the industry. Simulating the behaviour of multiphase flows is of importance to scientists and engineers for better prediction of phenomena and design of products. This thesis aims to develop a multiphase flow framework which can be applied to industrial applications such as placement of concrete in construction and proppant transport in oil and gas. Techniques available in literature to model multiphase flows are systematically introduced and each of their merits and demerits are analysed. Their suitability for different applications and scenarios are established. The challenges surrounding the placement of fresh concrete in formwork is investigated. Construction defects, the physics behind these defects and existing tests used to monitor fresh concrete quality are evaluated. Methods used to simulate fresh concrete flow as an alternative to experiments are critically analysed. The potential benefits of using numerical modelling and the shortcoming of the existing approaches are established. It is found that the homogeneous Bingham model is currently the most widely used technique to model fresh concrete flow. Determining the Bingham parameters for a given concrete mix remains a challenge and a novel method to obtain values for them is demonstrated in this work. The Bingham model is also applied to a full-scale tremie concrete placement procedure in a pile. Knowledge on the flow pattern followed by concrete being placed using a tremie is extracted. This is used to answer questions which the industry currently demands. The need for a more sophisticated model is emphasised in order to obtain an even greater understanding of fresh concrete flow behaviour. A CFD-DEM framework in which the multiphase nature of concrete is captured is developed. To validate this framework a new benchmark test is proposed in conjunction with the fluidised bed experiment. A comparative study of the drag models used in CFD-DEM approaches is performed to systematically assess each of their performances. CFD-DEM modelling is then applied to model fresh concrete flow and its potential to model defect causing phenomena is demonstrated. A model to capture more complex behaviours of concrete such as thixotropy is introduced and demonstrated.

The article highlights the relevance of reliable estimation of the composition and properties of reservoir gas during the development of gas condensate fields and the complexity of the task for reservoirs containing zones of varying condensate content. The authors have developed a methodology that allows monitoring the composition of gas condensate well streams of similar reservoirs. There are successful examples of the approach applied in Achimov gas condensate reservoirs at the Urengoy oil and gas condensate field. The proposed approach is based on the use of the so-called fluid factors, which are calculated on the basis of the known component compositions of various flows of the studied hydrocarbon system. The correlation between certain "fluid factors" and the properties of reservoir gas (usually determined by more labor-consuming methods) allows one to quickly obtain important information necessary to solve various development control tasks.

Abstract The results of experimental study of pressure variations inside core box during resin bonded sand filling process are reported. The test core specimens were produced using Laempe® Test Specimen Curing Machine L 1. A special pressure measurement system was designed and built with safety and portability requirements of the foundry environment. Special experiments were conducted to establish the effect of sand deposition on vent permeability.

Deoiling of produced or impaired waters associated with oil and gas production represents a significant challenge for many companies. Centrifugation, air flotation, and hydrocyclone separation are the current methods of oil removal from produced water [1], however the efficiency of these methods decreases dramatically for droplets smaller than approximately 15–20 μm. More effective separation of oil-water mixtures into water and oil phases has the potential to both decrease the environmental footprint of the oil and gas industry and improve human well-being in regions such as the Gulf of Mexico. New membrane separation processes and design of systems with advanced flow management offer tremendous potential for improving oil-water separation efficacy. However, fouling is a major challenge in membrane separation [2]. In this study, the behavior of oil droplets and their interaction with crossflow filtration (CFF) membranes (including membrane fouling) is studied using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. A model for film formation on a membrane surface is proposed for the first time to simulate film formation on membrane surfaces. The bulk multiphase flow is modeled using an Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase flow model. A wall film is developed from mass and momentum balances [3] and implemented to model droplet deposition and membrane surface blockage. The model is used to predict film formation and subsequent membrane fouling, and allow to estimate the actual permeate flux. The results are validated using available experimental data.

This paper introduces characteristics of common repairment method for oil and gas transmission pipeline, especially for steel reinforcement repair sleeve. In this research, an X80 pipe with interlayer defects repaired by steel reinforcement repair sleeve was studied. In order to investigate the repair effect of steel reinforcement repair sleeve for interlayer defects, a hydraulic blasting test and metallographic analysis for repaired pipeline were performed. The result shows that interlayer defect influences the pressure capacity of pipe to a certain degree, however, steel reinforcement repair sleeve could provide an acceptable strengthening to the repaired section.
