The study precisely assessed the behavior of static pressure drop by utilizing an array of flow regimes encompassing bubble, dispersed bubble, transitional bubble/slug, slug, stratified, transitional slug/stratified wave, and stratified wave. Remarkably, an upward trend in static pressure drop was observed with increasing water phase presence, while the converse was true for the air phase. Besides, the air phase superficial velocity exhibited a direct correlation with the magnitude of pressure drop fluctuations. The liquid production demonstrated a peak during bubble and slug flow regimes, followed by a descent during the transition to stratified and stratified wave flow. This decline can be attributed to mixing pressure drops localized during the perforations. Furthermore, an upward trend in average liquid production was observed with increasing mixture superficial velocity, primarily due to the dominant presence of the water phase. Additionally, the percentage of liquid production was positively associated with the water's superficial velocity when the air's superficial velocity was held constant. While the experimental and numerical results were in agreement for slugs and structured flows, there were discrepancies in the behavior of static pressure for bubbles, small bubbles, and structured waves.

Using the same 3-D wind tunnel dimensions, numerical simulations were run. The software program ANSYS FLUENT was used to solve the mathematical model using the continuity equation, the Navier-Stokes equations, and the k-ω shearstress transport turbulence model. Findings demonstrate that at all AOAs, there is a direct relationship between Reynolds numbers (Re), lift and drag coefficients, kinetic energy, and stall angle. The lift coefficient rises linearly as the AOA increases, peaking at 14°, the stall angle at higher Reynolds number. The lift coefficient was found to decline when the AOA was increased further, reaching its minimal value at an AOA of 18°. With a greater AOA, the airfoil's drag coefficient rises, creating turbulent flow. The eddies produced by the turbulence cause the flow to start separating from the airfoil surface as turbulence increases. As a result, the airfoil lift coefficient drops, and its drag coefficient rises at the same time, leading to poor performance. The validation of the numerical results through wind tunnel experiments provided confidence in the findings of the study.

It has been assumed that the study involves steady state, non-compressive, and turbulent flows. The operating fluid was air. The effect of Reynolds number and angle of attack on lift and drag coefficients, pressure distribution, and velocity distribution was investigated. ANSYS FLUENT has been used to solve the numerical model by using continuity equations, Navier-Stokes equations, and the appropriate K-ω SST perturbation model. This study shows a clear difference between the pressure coefficient of the lower and upper surfaces of the airfoil at high Reynolds numbers, indicating higher lift at high Reynolds numbers. As the maximum stall angle of the airfoil NACA0012 is 14° after which it decreases significantly, a direct relationship was observed between lift and drag coefficients and angle of attack.

The experimental apparatus has been constructed to calculate the static pressure drop and calculate the exit velocity in the horizontal pipe after mixing the axial flow with the radial flow through the perforations in the wellbore. The specifications of the wellbore used were the inner diameter is 44 mm, length is 2 m, and perforation diameter is 4 mm. For this objective, a simulation model was created in the wellbore using the ANSYS Fluent simulation software by using the standard k-ε model and applied to the (CFD) by changing the axial flow from (40-160) lit/min and constant inflow through perforations from range (0-80) lit/min. According to the study's findings, the increase in the radial flow through the perforations increases the total flow rate ratio and the total pressure drop and vice versa. In addition, an increase in the axial flow mixed with radial flow increases the total pressure drop, friction factor, and a decrease in productivity index. Furthermore, the percentage error of the total pressure drop between the numerical and experimental results in test 4 is about 3.83 %. It was found that the numerical and experimental results represented a good agreement about the study of the flow-through perforations at 90° angle in terms of pressure drop and productivity index, etc.

Oil production rate is influenced by perforation density distribution's along horizontal wells, specifically in reservoirs with high permeability and low-pressure drawdown. This study investigated the behaviours of the total pressure drop, mixture’s superficial velocity, void fraction and liquid film thickness that occurs with various flow patterns (i.e., bubble, slug, stratified and stratified wave flows). Two perforation density conditions are studied, namely perforation density increase at outlet and perforation density increase at inlet. The friction factor was fulfilled through the perforated and unperforated horizontal wellbore. Production is greater with a perforated horizontal wellbore than with a smooth (unperforated) horizontal wellbore. The total pressure drop, mixture superficial velocity and void fraction increases with the air s...

A perforated section is followed by a plain section for many horizontal wells. The additional pressure drop due to combined effect of perforation roughness and the type of fluid mixing was analyzed through numerical CFD and the results were compared with the experimental results of other researchers. The computations were based on the finite volume method with the SIMPLE algorithm standard

Prediction of the loss coefficient and velocity profile of fluid with the turbulent incompressible flow in T-junction pipe for non-symmetrical dividing and non-symmetrical combining helps to understand this type of fitting.

The model of turbulent uses the stander k-and solving the Navies-Stocks equation by finite volume method in the SIMPLE algorithm in ANSYS FLUENT R1 2020. Comparison of the numerical results with previous work to study the effect of the flow rate ratio with different Reynolds numbers in the range (3000-30000). The results show the loss coefficient is independent of Re numbers. The non-symmetrical dividing the maximum flow move in the straight pipe when the change flow rate ratio to (0.8) forced the fluid to move in the branch and formation high vortex and recirculation. The nonsymmetrical combining the high velocity in outlet branch with small eddies especially increased at a flow rate ratio (0.8).

Continuity equation, Momentum equation, and Energy equation of water are modelled and solved by using the ANSYS FLUENT 2020R1 Software free Demo. While the turbulent model with standard (k-ε) type is used to compute the turbulent parameters such as turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent dissipation rate for a pipe inner diameter of (D =25 mm) with a length from the T-junction centre line and at the outlet of the Venturi meter is (350 mm). The Reynolds number variation ranged from (1x10 4 to 3x10 4) at the step of (5000). The water flowing is considered in an x-direction flow to show the effects of the above parameters. The model is obtained on the velocity distribution, pressure drop distribution, turbulent kinetic energy, and turbulent dissipation rate. The results showed a discrepancy in the values of the effect of the T-junction on the Venturi meter concerning the velocity distribution and pressure drop, while they showed similar behaviour for the turbulence parameters.

The experimental study was conducted to investigate the phasing angle 180° in a horizontal wellbore. The wellbore has an inner diameter of 44 mm, as well as the length of the pipe is 2 m. For this purpose, a simulation model was created in the wellbore using the ANSYS FLUENT simulation software by using the standard k-𝜖 model and applied to the (CFD) with changing the axial flow from (40 - 160) lit/min and constant inflow through perforations from range (20 - 80) lit/min. Concerning the findings of this study, it was noticed that the total pressure drop (friction, acceleration, mixing) goes high as the total flow rate ratio increases. As well as, an increase of the inflow concerning the main flow rate ratio leads to an increase in the total pressure drop and a decrease in the productivity index. Furthermore, the ...
