The treatment of produced water is a major challenge faced by oil and gas industries
worldwide. As a result of the increase in industrial activities, the generation of produced …

Scour is a key issue affecting the service life of submarine pipelines. Understanding the
scour process and scour mechanism around the pipelines is crucial for developing the …

Hydrocyclones are widely used to separate coal fines by size in the coal industry. They,
however often face the problem associated with the misplacement of particles at the outlets …

Hydrocyclones generally follow a conventional design and may have some limitations on
separation performance. This paper presents a numerical study of hydrocyclones with …

This paper presents a numerical study of the multiphase flow and performance of
hydrocyclone by means of two-fluid model, with special reference to the effects of diameter …

The present study aims to provide a state-of-the-art review of the multiphase CFD
simulations of hydrocyclones in the scope of the Euler-Euler approach. It has been shown …

A novel hydrocyclone with guide vanes, named as axial hydrocyclone (AHC), is designed to
tackle the problem of oil–water separation faced by most mature oilfields. Optimal design of …

Hydrocyclones used for separating coal particles (< 2 mm) by sizes suffer from particle
misplacement related to different particle densities. This paper presents a numerical study …

In this study the effect of inlet chamber design on de-oiling hydrocyclone efficiency has been
investigated numerically with the aim of minimizing the energy loss. To this aim, effects of …

The interaction between particle density and cyclone size is crucial for selecting
hydrocyclone size but not clearly understood. This paper presents a numerical study on the …
