CFD of multiphase pipe flow: A comparison of solvers

Pipelines with multiphase flow of gas, oil, and water are commonly used in the oil and gas industry. In the presence of offshore platforms or vessels, the pipeline ends with a vertical riser. A possible new concept is to use a single large diameter pipeline along the sea floor that ends into multiple smaller diameter risers. This concept might...

Towards effective emission regulations: A numerical and experimental study on flow measurement uncertainty in stacks

Accurate measurement of emissions (i.e. volume flow rate multiplied by concentration) is vital to the control and reduction of air pollution. We quantify the uncertainty of flow measurements by S-type pitot tubes in narrow exhaust stacks (diameter < 0.5 m) in support of recent European Union (EU) regulations for emissions from medium-size...
