Abstract:The fluid mixture hydrocyclone is an excellent tool for downhole oil/water separation (DOWS) for high water cut. In the present work the flow through inline axial inlet hydrocyclone is investigated computationally using ANSYS-FLUENT-19 software. The three dimensional continuity and momentum equations with SST k-omega turbulence model are used to simulate the strongly swirling, turbulent flow. Oil/water two phase mixture treated as the working fluid, water is considered as the primary phase and oil is the secon… Show more
