Overview

Investigates the transformation of waxy crude oil's flow behavior from Newtonian to viscoplastic in pipelines, revealing significant implications for oil transport efficiency.

Key Points

  • This research aims to understand how waxy crude oil changes its flow characteristics under cooling conditions within a pipe.
  • Non-isothermal laminar flow analysis of waxy crude oil in a pipe
  • Mathematical modeling using Navier-Stokes equations and Shvedov-Bingham rheological model
  • Numerical simulations conducted with the control volume method to analyze velocity, temperature, and viscosity fields.
  • Inlet flow retains Newtonian behavior, but viscoplastic behavior develops near the pipe wall.
  • Downstream, oil progressively transitions to a viscoplastic state across the pipe, forming stagnant regions and a core flow.
  • Pressure-drop data illustrate the impact of rheological changes on flow characteristics.
