Diagnostics of cavitation flows

The operational experience of well pipelines shows that due to the multicomponent and multiphasic nature of the well products, mixing and dilution of oils, the occurrence of cases such as narrowing and blocking of pipelines is widespread as a result of various sedimentation processes occurring in pipelines. The frequent occurrence of cavitation phenomena in pipelines because of the local resistances created in cases of narrowing greatly reduces their reliability and service life. In the article, the cavitation events caused by the narrowing of the pipelines were investigated and the diagnosis of the critical parameters of cavitation was given.
