Fluid entrainment is a complex and deeply attractive phenomenon that is frequently
encountered in both industry and nature. In general, entrainment deals with the basic …

The flows of fluid via sudden expansions are among the basic topics within the discipline of
fluid mechanics. The comprehension of these types of flows has attracted a great volume of …

In the present work, a computational fluid dynamic simulation has been performed to
investigate core annular flow through sudden contraction and expansion. Core annular flow …

Eccentric core-annular flow is encountered in water-lubricated transport of highly viscous oil
in horizontal pipes. The core eccentricity results from the tendency of the phases to stratify …

In this paper, heavy crude oil–water flows are studied in a horizontal stainless steel test
section with 25.4 mm ID and overall length of 50m. Crude oil (viscosity= 628.1 mPas …

A close relationship between Ni–Cu–(PGE) sulfide deposits and magmatic conduit systems
has been widely accepted, but our present understanding still rests on empirical inductions …

The main purpose of the present work is to study the hydrodynamic behavior of high viscous
oil-water flow within the horizontal ducts undergoing sudden expansion. Computational fluid …

In the present study, a comparative analysis of the flow patterns and pressure drop in a
serpentine miniature geometry of inner diameter 2 mm and a serpentine annulus miniature …

One of the big challenges in transporting heavy oils through the pipelines is the high
pressure drop due to the effect of viscosity and shear-thinning fluid behaviour of oil. Core …

Pipelines encounter high pressure losses during transport of high viscous crudes, especially
at lower temperatures present in deep-waters. With emphasis on flow regimes and pressure …
