Large centrifugal compressors, which are commonly applied in the oil and gas and in the process industry, may fail due to vibrations of the impeller. These vibrations are induced by pressure pulsations in a compressor stage. These vibrations can be especially strong in so-called dense ... Read More
To consider effective counter measures against ground water contaminated with dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) such as chlorinated solvents, it is first important to understand the mechanism of their migration in heterogeneous aquifer. In addition, numerical analysis models to ... Read More
Nowadays, gas and nuclear waste storage, shale gas and EOR exploitation rise the need to understand and predict the fate of multiphase flows in the underground. Various formulations for multiphase flow arise from different linear combinations of governing equations and choice of ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used to model the field joint application process on carbon steel pipelines for deep sea crude oil transportation, taking into account not only heat transfer, cure kinetics, and crystallization, but also thermal, cure and crystallization shrinkage and the ...

Macroscale ultrasonic separation is a new filtration technology, with various applications such as cell clarification, cell therapy, blood-lipid separation, oil-water separation etc. These systems use piezoelectric transducers to create standing waves in fluid-particle mixture. Suspended ... Read More
Dissolution of calcite plays an important role in various processes such as enhanced oil and gas recovery, CO2 sequestration, and groundwater transport for the drinking water production. Dissolution rates predicted by pore scale and continuum scale models are often faster than the ... Read More
In the manufacture of radiation detectors, high voltage bias is often required. Since the detector is housed inside a sealed enclosure a ceramic to metal seal is used to feed this bias voltage to the detector as well as providing connections for the resulting pulse output from the ... Read More
CO2 capture and storage constitutes a promising solution to control and reduce these emissions. Wellbore integrity is a key challenge to ensure long term safety and for public acceptance. For this objective, a two-phase flow model in porous media based on Darcy’s law has been proposed to ... Read More
2015年由美国大发起页岩气革命成功地使美国从油气进口国转变为油气出口国。这使得页岩气成为能源领域关注的热点。页岩气与煤炭和石油相比更为清洁，且储量更为丰富。开发页岩气的两项关键技术是水平井钻井技术和压裂改造地层技术。 然而，由于页岩相比于其他岩石水化学活性更强，导致在水平井钻穿储层过程中井壁极容易垮塌失稳。油基泥浆的使用可以克服上述问题，但成本昂贵且受环保限制。水基泥浆的普及依赖于对页岩水化的深入理解。在页岩水化反应过程中，温度场、离子浓度场、渗流场、应力场均不同程度地作用在井壁周围岩石，而且相互耦合作用随时间不断变化 ... Read More
Acoustic streaming (AS) describes a physical phenomenon where an oscillating sound emitter induces a steady fluid motion. Metal processing industry applies this treatment for grain morphology adjustments during the solidification of metal. Improvement and further development of this ... Read More
