GOALI: Academic-Industrial Partnership for Studies of Reservoir Stimulations, Drilling, Transportation, Emulsion Stability, and Foaming Bubble Reactor

摘要CTS-9610059 D.D.约瑟夫和G.S.比弗大学明尼苏达 这是明尼苏达大学和一组石油公司（Dowell-Schlumberger，Intervep，STIM-Lab Consortium of 18家公司和Syncrude Canada）之间多相流过程领域合作研究的学术联络与工业（GOALI）奖。 重点将放在非牛顿流体中基本粒子或气泡相互作用机制的实验研究及其对宏观流型和流变行为的影响上。 由同一小组开发的直接数值模拟（DNS）技术将用于解释和概括实验结果。 这些方法将在五个应用领域解决基本的两相流现象：压裂液和钻井泥浆的剪切流中的颗粒迁移，切削输送，浓缩水包油乳液的润滑管道，以及浓缩乳液的流变学和稳定性。 合作公司将在项目方向、研究活动和学生支持方面提供大量投入。 该项目将为石油工业中各种技术中遇到的复杂多相流过程提供科学基础，并应用于碳氢化合物和碳氢化合物产品的生产，加工和运输。

Abstract CTS-9610059 D.D. Joseph and G.S. Beaver U. of Minnesota This a Grant Opportunity for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) award for collaborative research in the area of multiphase flow processes between the University of Minnesota and a group of oil companies (Dowell-Schlumberger, Intervep, STIM-Lab Consortium of 18 companies, and Syncrude Canada). The main focus will be on experimental investigation of elementary particle or bubble interaction mechanisms in non-Newtonian fluids and their effects on the macroscopic flow pattern and rheological behavior. Direct numerical simulation (DNS) techniques developed by the same group will be used to interpret and generalize the experimental results. These methods will address fundamental two-phase flow phenomena in five applicative areas: particle migration in shear flow of fracturing fluids and drilling muds, cutting transport, lubricated pipelines of concentrated oil in water emulsions, and rheology and stability of concentrated emulsions. The collaborating companies will provide considerable input in the project direction, research activities, and student support. The project will provide a scientific foundation for the complex multiphase flow processes encountered in various technologies in oil industry, with application to production, processing and transport of hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon products.
