Abstract: |
As the efficiency of the current oil-gas separators is very low, and to improve the efficiency of downhole multiphase pump or electrical submersible pumping unit in high gas-content wells, the numerical simulation was studied on the two-phase flow in downhole hydpocyclone oil-gas separator. Meanwhile,the Reynolds stress model was chosen as turbulence model and the algebraic slip model was chosen as multiphase flow model. With the numerical calculation,the two phase media equocon-centration distribution map and die axial velocity ventogrph were obtained and proved to completely accord with the flow field distribution in cyckwie- A contrast between the numerical simulated result and the result of pre-industrial prototype which has the same structure was carried on. The results show that the optimized hydrocyclone oil-gas separator not only runs weU but also possesses good separating perfonnance,and can satisfy the requirement of high flux and high GOR wells. |
