The maximum effective hole-diameter mathematical modei describing the flow of slightly compressible fluid through a commingled reservoir was solved rigorously with consideration of wellbore storage and different skin factors. The exact solutions for wellbore pressure and the production rate obtained from layer j for a well production at a constant rate from a radial drainage area with infinite and constant pressure and no flow outer boundary condition were expressed in terms of ordinary Bessel functions. These solutions were computed numerically by the Crump's numerical inversion method and the behavior of systems was studied as a function of various reservoir parameters. The modei was compared with the real wellbore radii modei. The new modei is numerically stable when the skin factor is positive and negative, but the real wellbore radii modei is numerically stable only when the skin factor is positive.

The liquid phase turbulent structure of an air-water bubbly horizontal flow in a circular pipe has been investigated experimentally. Three-dimensional measurements were implemented with two "X" type probes oriented in different planes, and local liquid-phase velocities and turbulent stresses were simultaneously obtained. Systematic measurements were conducted covering a range of local void fraction from 0 to 11.7%. The important experiment results and parametric trends are summarized and discussed.

A new model called semi-permeable wall model is presented for multilayer gas reservoir. The model is used to study the influence of crossflow on pressure transient well tests and other single-phase flow problems. It is suggested here to use this model to approximate the actual multilayer gas reservoir, so that the problem is greatly simplified mathematically. Its differential equation is established here for multilayer gas reservoirs, and is linearized by normalized pseudo pressure and pseudo time. Simulation program is developed by finite-difference method when all layers are perforated. The feature of wellbore pressure and rate is clarified by analyzing the results of numerical simulation.

An investigation of the characteristics of flowrate transientswithin slug flow was conducted in a large- scale outdoor testingfacility. The test section consisted of a 378 m long, 7.62 cmdiameter stainless steel pipe. Air and water were used as the testfluids. The response to a change of flowrate of either phase or twophases Was measured using a series of pressure transducers anddifferential pressure transducers. An increase or decrease In gasflowrate caused a pressure overshoot above the value at new steadystate or led to a pressure undershoot To form a temporary stratifiedflow.

To investigate the size effect on the characteristics of boiling heat transfer, boiling behavior of FC-72 in heated vertical miniature circular tubes immersed in a liquid pool was experimentally studied. Two AISI 304 stainless steel tubes with inner diameters of 1.10 mm and 1.55 mm correspondingly, were heated by swirled Ni-Cr wire heaters and sealed in Lucite blocks by silicon adhesive. Both the top and the bottom ends of the circular test sections were open to the liquid pool. The boiling curves and heat transfer coefficients were obtained experimentally. The boiling behaviors at the outlets of the miniature tubes were also visualized with a digital video camera. Experimental results show that the tube geometry has a significant effect on the boiling characteristics. Vapor blocking at the outlet of the smaller circular tube with a diameter of 1.10 mm caused severe boiling hysteresis phenomena. The CHF decreased with reducing in tube size.

Reservoir deposition occurs over geologic periods of time. Although reservoirs are assumed to be homogenous for simplicity of analysis, most reservoirs are heterogeneous in nature. Some common forms of hetergeneity are the presence of layers and the presence of different zones of fluids and/or rock in the formation. A modified semi-permeable model for multi-layered gas reservoirs with pseudo-steady state interlayer crossflow was developed. The model accounted for the effect of skin and wellbore storage, considers all layers open to a single well, which flows at constant total rate. This new numerical solution was proved to be computationally very efficient, and it has been validated by comparing the results with those of some simple, well known models in the well testing literature. The effects of the reservoir parameters such as permeability, vertical permeability, skin, wellbore storage on the wellbore response, pressure and layer production rate were investigated. Numerical solutions of the problem for the modified semi-permeable model were used to find the structure of crossflow in typical cases.

In order to investigate the effect of inclination angle on the spatial distribution of phases, experiments on gas-liquid two-phase slug flow in an inclined pipe were carried out by using the optical probe and an EKTAPRO 1000 high speed motion analyzer. It has been demonstrated that the inclination angle and the mixture velocity are important parameters to influence the distribution of void fraction for upward slug flow in the inclined pipe. At high mixture velocity, the gas phase profile is axial symmetry in the cross-section of the pipe. This is similar to that for vertical slug flow. In contrast, most of the gas phase is located near the upper pipe wall at low mixture velocity. By measuring the axial variation of void fraction along the liquid slug, it can be concluded that there is a high void fraction wake region with length of 3~4D in the front of liquid slug. In the fully developed zone of liquid slug, the peak value of the void fraction is near the upper wall.

The present work is to investigate the transient three-dimensional heated turbulent jet into crossflow in a thickwall T-junction pipe using CFD package. Two cases with the jet-to-crossflow velocity ratio of 0.05 and 0.5 are computed, with a finite-volume method utilizing κ-ε model. Comparison of the steady-state computations with measured data shows good qualitative agreement. Transient process of injection is simulated to examine the thermal shock on the T-junction component. Temporal temperature of the component is acquired by thermal coupling with the fluid. Via analysis of the flow and thermal characteristics, factors causing the thermal shock are studied. Optimal flow rates are discussed to reduce the thermal shock.

A fully elliptic numerical study has been carried out to investigate the three-dimensional turbulent developing flow in a helical square duct with large curvature. A two-layer zonal model is proposed and used, in which the whole region is divided into a viscosity-affected near wall layer and a fully turbulent region. A DSM closure is applied in the former, and a one-equation model is solved in the latter. The results presented in this paper cover a Reynolds number range of (l- 10) x 104. The development of flow is found to be dominated by radial pressure gradient and Dean-type secondary motion. The distribution of Reynolds stresses in fully developed flow exhibit a complex pattern of turbulence anisotropy The development of peripherally averaged friction factor and the distribution of local friction factor in fully developed flow are given and discussed.

Also, the result obtained from the model was compared with the experimental data, both data were in agreement. The simple model is useful for the operation, design and optimization of the ice storage tank.
