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

摘要明尼苏达州CTS-9610059 D.D.Joseph和G.S.Beaver University这是明尼苏达大学与一组石油公司(道厄尔-斯伦贝谢、Intervep、由18家公司组成的STIM-Lab联盟和加拿大辛克鲁德公司)在多相流过程领域的合作研究的学术联系(GOALI)奖。主要集中在非牛顿流体中基本颗粒或气泡相互作用机制的实验研究，以及它们对宏观流型和流变性的影响。将使用由同一小组开发的直接数值模拟(DNS)技术来解释和推广实验结果。这些方法将解决五个应用领域中的基本两相流现象：压裂液和钻井液剪切流中的颗粒迁移、切割输送、浓缩水乳状液的润滑管道以及浓缩型乳状液的流变性和稳定性。合作公司将在项目指导、研究活动和学生支持方面提供相当大的投入。该项目将为石油工业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.
