• Effect of operating conditions and particle properties on performance of vertical air-lift 

      Chladek, Jana; Enstad, Gisle; Melaaen, Morten Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      The effect of the fluidization air flow rate and the transport air velocity on the solids mass flow rate and the pressure drop along the transport pipe was investigated in a vertical air-lift. The use of two different ...
    • Near Well CFD Simulation of SAGD Extra Heavy Oil Production 

      Kahawalage, Amila Chandra; Halvorsen, Britt; Mathiesen, Vidar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)
      Near well computational fluid dynamic simulation for extra heavy oil production using steam assisted gravity drainage was studied with ANSYS Fluent software. Computational fluid dynamic simulation can predict the multiphase ...
    • Simulation of Transcritical Flow in Hydraulic Structures 

      Agu, Cornelius Emeka; Lie, Bernt; Elseth, Geir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)
      In hydraulic engineering, transcritical flows are often required in some applications. One example is in a Venturi channel where the occurrence of critical depth is used to estimate flow rate in the channel. In this paper, ...
