Selected Projects delivered to our Clients

Applications of our models in Pipeline

This project uses Fluent +Mechanical to simulate the vibration characteristics of high-pressure water injection pipelines under fluid flow conditions. It analyzes parameters such as vibration frequency and amplitude. By simulating the vibration sources and propagation paths, the study aims to optimize the pipeline support and fixation methods, reduce the impact of vibrations on the pipeline, and enhance the operational stability of the pipeline.

Pipeline Vibration Analysis

12

This project leverages ANSYS Fluent and Mechanical to simulate the vibration characteristics of high-pressure water injection pipelines under dynamic fluid flow conditions. It evaluates key parameters such as vibration frequency and amplitude, and models the sources and propagation paths of vibration throughout the system. The insights gained are used to optimise pipeline support and fixation strategies—minimising vibration-induced stress and enhancing overall operational stability.

Pipeline Leakage and Diffusion Simulation

12

This project employs Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation to investigate the leakage behavior of supercritical carbon dioxide pipelines in both atmospheric and subsurface environments. It examines the spatial distribution of concentration and temperature around the leakage zone, enabling prediction of potential hazards based on flow field characteristics. These insights inform the optimal design of pipeline leakage monitoring systems, supporting more efficient design.

Pipeline Wax Deposition Prediction

22

This project applies the Discrete Phase Model (DPM) within CFD simulations to predict wax deposition patterns in wax-bearing natural gas as it flows through a throttle valve. It evaluates the spatial distribution and quantity of wax accumulation, analysing the impact of key operating parameters on deposition behavior. Based on these insights, the study provides targeted operational recommendations to mitigate wax buildup and reduce associated risks to pipeline integrity and flow assurance.
