1
Characterisation of the mean and time dependent properties of inclined oil-in- water pipe flows using 4-sensor probes G. Lucas and Xin Zhao University of Huddersfield, UK
2
Local oil volume fraction and local oil vector velocity vs time From an array of seven 4-sensor probes (sampling interval =0.05s) (Qw=16.4m3/hr; Qo = 6 m3/hr; inclination angle = 45°) Oil volume fraction given by colour scale, 2-D velocity vector is given by black arrow Click here to view the animation
3
Characterisation of time dependent flows by investigating standard deviation of flow phenomena over different time windows Time window T k given by
4
Standard deviation of oil axial velocity (Vz) fluctuations versus k for top 6 probes (Qw=16.4, Qo=6, theta=45 degrees) Experimental data ‘Time window’ 0.05 seconds ‘Time window’ 0.8 seconds ‘Time window’ 25.6 seconds
5
Standard deviation of oil cross-pipe velocity (Vy) fluctuations versus k for top 6 probes (Qw=16.4, Qo=6, theta=45 degrees) Experimental data ‘Time window’ 0.05 seconds ‘Time window’ 0.8 seconds ‘Time window’ 25.6 seconds
6
Local oil volume fraction and oil velocity vector vs time from Nottingham model using a sampling interval of 0.05s (Qw=16.4m3/hr; Qo = 6 m3/hr; inclination angle = 45°) Data taken from numerical model at a distance of 0.9L from inlet where L is the modelled pipe length - and at positions corresponding to the seven four-sensor probes used in the equivalent experiment at the same flow conditions. Oil volume fraction given by colour scale, 2-D velocity vector is given by black arrow Click here to view the animation
7
Standard deviation of oil axial velocity (Vz) fluctuations versus k from Notttingham model (at positions corresponding to 7 probes used in experiments) Qw=16.4, Qo=6, inclination=45 degrees ‘Time window’ 0.05 seconds ‘Time window’ 0.8 seconds ‘Time window’ 25.6 seconds
8
Standard deviation of oil cross-pipe velocity (Vy) fluctuations versus k from Notttingham model (at positions corresponding to 7 probes used in experiments) Qw=16.4, Qo=6, inclination=45 degrees ‘Time window’ 0.05 seconds ‘Time window’ 0.8 seconds ‘Time window’ 25.6 seconds
