Natural Frequency Analysis of Pipes Carrying High Viscosity Oil–Gas-Water Slug Flow
摘要
To investigate how superficial gas/liquid velocity and oil volume fraction affect the intrinsic vibration frequency for the pipework system that transmits slug flow, a new model has been developed.
MethodsBy incorporating the flow parameters obtained from the slug flow model of high-viscosity oil-gas into the pipeline system vibration model, the governing equations are discretized using the Galerkin method to analyze the natural frequency characteristics of the system.
ConclusionThe superficial gas velocity of Jg ≤ Jcri, g , the variation of superficial gas velocity is not directly related to its natural frequency, and Jg > Jcri, g, the superficial gas velocity can be transitioned from a secondary influence factor to a primary one. And, in the relatively wide interval of Jg < 2.00m/s, an increase in superficial gas velocity is likely to trigger an increase in natural frequency.
