Experimental device measures forces on solid bodies in liquid flow, indicating implications for hydrocarbon well management.
The problem of determining the forces acting on a solid body in an aqueous medium from a liquid flow is considered. The solution to the problem is necessary for studying the controlled movement of a pontoon plug at the mouth of an emergency hydrocarbon well. An experimental device has been developed that makes it possible to determine the force acting on an axisymmetric rigid body depending on its location relative to the well. An analytical dependence of the force values on the distance between the plug and the well and its angular position relative to the axis of the well has been established.
