Sketch of multiphase flow in an oil pipe, where the continuous phase is the liquid (blue) carrying smaller particles. Gas (white) and oil particles (black) are in a disperse phase.

In fluid mechanics, multiphase flow is the simultaneous flow of materials with two or more phases. These phases may consist of one chemical component (e.g. flow of water and water vapor), or several different chemical components (e.g. flow of oil and water). [1] A phase is classified as continuous if it occupies a continually connected region of space. Whereas a classification of disperse is applied when the phase occupies disconnected regions of space. The continuous phase may be either gaseous or a liquid. The disperse phase can consist of either a solid, liquid or gas.[2]

Two general topologies can be identified, disperse flows and seperated flows.The former being those consisting of finite particles, drops or bubbles distributed within a continuous phase. The latter is defined as consisting of two or more continuous streams of fluids separated by interfaces.[3]

History

[edit]

The study of multiphase flow is strongly linked to the development of fluid mechanics, with an early key discovery being made by Archimedes of Syracuse (250BCE) postulated the laws of buoyancy, which became known as the Archimedes' Principle - which is used in modelling multiphase flow.[4]

In the mid 20th century, advances in nucleate boiling were developed and the first two-phase pressure drop models were formed primarily for the chemical and process industries. In particular Lockhart and Martinelli (1949)[5] presented a model for frictional pressure drop in horizontal, separated two-phase flow which is still utilised today. Between 1950 and 1960, intensive work in the aerospace and nuclear sectors triggered further studies into two-phase flow. Baker (1965)[6] conducted studies into vertical flow regimes.[7]

From the 1970's onwards, multiphase flow especially in the context of the oil industry has been studied extensively due to the increasing dependence of petroleum by the world economy.[8]

The 1980's saw further modelling of multiphase flow by modelling flow patterns to different pipe inclinations and diameters and different pressures and flows. Advancements in computing power in the 1990's allowed for increasingly complex modelling techniques to modelling multiphase flow, flows that were previously limited to one-dimensional problems could be pushed to three-dimensional models.[7]

Projects to develop multiphase flow metering technology (MFM), used to measure the rate of individual phase flow appeared in the 1990's. The impetus behind this technology was a forecasted decline of production from the major North Sea oil fields. Oil companies that created early prototypes included BP and Texaco, MFMS have now become ubiquitous and are now the primary metering solution for new-field developments.[8]


Examples and applications

[edit]
Multiphase flow in nature. Avalanche on the Alps, fog engulfing the Golden Gate Bridge and sediment being deposited into the Pacific Ocean by the Eel river.

Multiphase flow occurs regularly in many natural phenomena, and also is well documented and crucial within various industries.

In nature

[edit]

Rain, snow, fog, avalanches, mud slides, sediment transport, volcanic eruptions, geysers and debris flows are all examples of multiphase flow[9]. For example, sediment transport in rivers is subject to multiphase flow, in which the suspended particles are treated as a continuous second phase which interacts with the fluid phase.[10]

An example of multiphase flow on a smaller scale would be within porous structures. Pore-structure modelling enables the use Darcy's law to calculate the volumetric flow rate through porous media such as groundwater flow through rock.[11] Further examples occur within the bodies of living organisms, such as blood flow (with plasma being the liquid phase and red blood cells constituting the solid phase[12]. Also flow within the intestinal tract of the human body, with solid food particles and water flowing simultaneously.[13]

In industry

[edit]

The large majority of processing technology involves multiphase flow. A common example of multiphase flow in industry is a fluidized bed. This device combines a solid-liquid mixture and causes it to move like a fluid.[14] Further examples include bubbly flow in nuclear reactors, gas-particle flow in combustion reactors and fiber suspension flows within the pulp and paper industry. [15] It is estimated that half of production in a modern industrial society relies on a multiphase flow process.[9]

In oil and gas industries, multiphase flow often refers to simultaneous flow of oil, water and gas. The term is also applicable to signifies the properties of a flow in some field where there is a chemical injection or various types of inhibitors. [16][17] In petroleum engineering, drilling fluid consists of a gas-solid phase. Furthermore, crude oil during flow through pipelines is a gas-oil-water three phase flow.[8]

Types of Multiphase flow

[edit]

The most common class of multiphase flows are two-phase flows, and these include Gas-Liquid Flow, Gas-Solid Flow, Liquid-Liquid Flow and Liquid-Solid Flow. These flows are the most studied, and are of great interest in the context of industry.[7][18]

Two-phase liquid-gas pipeline flow

[edit]
Flow regimes in horizontal flow,,with the arrow indicating direction of flow:From top to bottom : Bubble flow, Plug flow, Slug flow, Wavy flow, Stratified flow, Annular flow and Mist flow. With blue denoting the liquid state and gas in white.

Flow patterns in pipes are governed my the diameter of the pipe, the physical properties of the fluids and their flow rates. As velocity and gas-liquid ratio is increased, 'bubble flow' transitions into 'mist flow'. At high liquid-gas ratios, liquid forms the continuous phase an at low values it forms the disperse phase. In plug and slug flow, gas flows faster than the liquid and the liquid forms a 'slug' which becomes detached and velocity decreases until the next liquid slug catches up.[1]

Flow regimes in horizontal two-phase flow [19][3]
Regime Decription
Bubble Flow Bubbles of gas dispersed or suspended throughout the liquid continuous phase. Typical features of this flow are moving and deformed interfaces of bubbles in time and space domains and complex interactions between the interfaces. This flow can be categorised further into Ideally Separated, Interacting Bubble, Churn Turbulent and Clustered. [20] Due to the buoyancy force, bubbles tend to drift in the upper portion of the pipe.[7]
Plug flow Plugs of gas in liquid phase where the velocity is assumed to be constant whilst 'plugs', essentially 'bullet shaped' bubbles of gas that cover the cross section of the pipe flow intermittently through the pipe in the upper portion of the pipe due to buoyancy forces.[7][21]
Stratified flow Gas and liquid flow where there is separation by an interface. This occurs when the gravity force dominates which causes stratification of the liquid at the bottom of the pipe. Most common in horizontal or slightly inclined pipelines. At low velocities, smooth interfaces occur whereas at greater velocities waves appear. [22]
Wavy flow Characterised by a gas-liquid flows in parallel streams, the interface between them is flat at low gas velocities, waves appear due to pertubations when velocity is increased. An example would be waves on the sea. [23]
Slug flow Defined by the intermittent sequence of liquid 'slugs' containing disperse gas bubbles alternating with longer bubbles with greater width. Unsteady flow regime even when velocities are kept constant. [24][1]
Annular flow Occurs when a liquid film in gas-liquid flow covers the channel wall in an annulus shape with gas flowing in the core. The core can also contain liquid droplets, this case is known as annular-dispersed flow.[25]
Mist/Disperse flow Characterised by a disperse phase being suspended in a continuous phase. In the case gas-liquid flow it occurs when liquid particles are suspended in a continuous gas phase.[1][26]
Common vertical flow regimes,with the arrow indicating direction of flow: From left to right: Churn flow, Annular flow and Wispy annular flow

In Vertical flow axial symmetry exists and flow patterns are more stable.[3] However, in regards to slug flow oscillations in this regime can can occur. Horizontal flow regimes can be applied here, however we see a more even distribution of particles due to the buoyancy force acting in the direction of the pipe. Stratified flow is also not possible in vertical flow regimes.

Churn flow occurs when slug flow breaks down, leading to an unstable regime in which there is an oscillatory motion of the liquid.

Wispy annular flow is characterised by the liquid 'wisps' that exist in the annular flow regime. Presumably due to the coalescence of the large concentration of contained droplets in the liquid film covering the pipe. This regime occurs at high mass fluxes.[7]

Liquid-solid flow

[edit]

Hydraulic transport consists of flows in which solid particles are dispersed in a continuous liquid phase. They are often referred to as slurry flows. Applications include the transport of coals and ores to the flow of mud.[27]

Suspensions are classified into the following groups; fine suspensions in which the particles are uniformly distributed within the liquid and coarse suspensions where particles ted to travel predominantly in the bottom half of a horizontal pipe at a lower velocity than the liquid and a significantly lower velocity than the liquid in a vertical pipe. [1]

Gas-solid pipeline flow

[edit]
Flow regimes in Gas-solid flow[1]
Regime Description
Uniform Suspended flow Particles are evenly distributed over the cross-section over the whole length of the pipe.
Non-Uniform suspended flow The flow is similar to the above description, but a tendency for particles to flow preferentially in the lower portion of the pipe, this occurs especially with larger particles.
Slug flow As the particles enter the conveying line, they tend to settle out before they are fully accelerated. They form dunes which are then swept downstream creating an uneven longitudinal distribution of particles along the pipeline.
Dune flow As the particles settle into dunes as stated above,the dunes remains stationary with particles being conveyed above the dunes and being swept from one dune to the next.
Moving bed Particles settle near the feed point and form a continuous bed at the bottom of hte pipe. The bed develops gradually throughout the length of the pipe and moves slowly forward. There is a velocity gradient in the vertical direction in the bed and conveying continues in suspended form above the bed.
Stationary bed Similar to a moving bed, however there is littlle to no movement of particles on the bed. The bed builds up until the pipe may be blocked if velocity is low enough.
Plug flow Following slug flow, the particles instead of forming stationary dunes gradually build up over the cross-section until they cause a blockage, this is less common than dune flow however.

Three-phase and above

[edit]

Three-phase flows are also of practical significance, and examples are as follows:

  1. Gas-liquid-solid flows: this type of system occurs in two-phase fluidised bed and gas lift chemical reactors where a gas-liquid reaction is promoted by solid catalyst particles suspended in the mixture. Another example is in froth flotation as a method to separate minerals and carry out gas-liquid reactions in the presence of a catalyst.[7]
  2. Three-phase, gas-liquid-liquid flows: mixtures of vapors and two immiscible liquid phases are common in chemical engineering plants. Examples are gas-oil-water flows in oil recovery systems and immiscible condensate-vapor flows in steam/hydrocarbon condensing systems.[18] Further examples lie in the flow of oil,water and natural gas. These flow can occur in condensation or evaporation of liquid mixtures (e.g the condensation or evaporation of steam or hydrocarbons). [7]
  3. Solid-liquid-liquid flows: An example being sand mixing with oil and water in a pipeline.[7]

Multiphase flows are not restricted to only three phases. An example of a four phase flow system would be that of direct-contact freeze crystallization in which, for example, butane liquid is injected into solution from which the crystals are to be formed, and freezing occurs as a result of the evaporation of the liquid butane. In this case, the four phases are, respectively, butane liquid, butane vapor, solute phase and crystalline (solid) phase.[18]

Characteristics of Multi-phase flow

[edit]

Due to the presence of multiple phases, there are considerable complications in describing and quantifying the nature of the flow compared with conditions of single phase flow. Velocity distribution is difficult to calculate due to the lack of knowledge of the velocities of each phase at a single point. Either phase will be in laminar or turbulent flow. The gas phase most commonly flows at a higher velocity than the liquid phase, this is due to the lower density and viscosity. [1]

The widely accepted method to categorize multiphase flows is to consider the velocity of each phase independently. This concept is known as the homogeneous flow model first proposed by Soviet scientists in the 1960's. [8] Measuring flow rates of each individual phase is now known as multiphase flow metering. For multiphase flow in pipes, the superficial velocity for each phase can be determined using the equation:

Where = mass flow rate, A = pipe cross-sectional area, = Material density.[27][2]

Basic parameters to describe single phase flow are velocity,mass flow rate and volumetric flow rate. In wellbore multiphase flow the mass flow rate, volumetric fraction and velocity of each phase are important parameters.[8]

Key parameters that describe multiphase flow in a conduit.[8]
Parameter Equation Description
Mass flow rate Mass flow rate being the mass of fluid which passes through the cross-section per unit of time.

Where G = Mass flow rate, g = has, l = liquid and s = solid

Volumetric flow rate


Volumetric flow rate, defined as the volume of fluid passing through a cross sectional area per unit of time:

Actual velocity Where actual velocity of gas phase (m/s), velocity of liquid phase and velocity of solid phase.
Mass fraction Defined as the ratio of the mass of one phase to the total mass of the mixture passing through the cross-section per unit of time.
Volume fraction The ratio of the volume of one phase divided by the total volume of the mixture passing through the cross-section per unit of time.

A flow through a conduit of constant cross-sectional area is considered to be under steady-state conditions when its velocity and pressure may vary from point to point but do not change with time. If these conditions are variable with time then the flow is known as transient. [8]

Fundamental forces in multi-phase flow

[edit]

The volumetric flow rate and fluid motion in general is driven by different forces acting on fluid elements. There are five forces that effect flow rate, each of these forces can be categorised in three different types; line, surface and volume.

Consider a line element of length L on Volume forces act on a element proportional to the volume (). Surface forces act on elements proportional to the size of the area () and line forces act on one dimensional curve elements ():

Classifying the forces involved in multiphase flow
Force Type Magnitude of force Magnitude of force per unit volume
Pressure Surface
Inertia Volume
Viscous Surface
Buoyancy Volume
Surface Line

Where P = pressure, ρ = density, Δ = change in quantity, σ = coefficient of surface tension, μ = Dynamic viscosity, A = area g = acceleration due to gravity, L = linear dimension, V = volume, U = velocity of continuous phase. [2]

The pressure force acts on an area or surface elements and accelerates the field in the direction of the pressure gradient. The pressure difference between the beginning and the end of the pressure gradient is known as the pressure drop. The Darcy-Weisbach equation can be utilised to calculate pressure drop in a channel.

The viscous force acts on a surface or area element and tends to make the flow field uniform and diminishes velocity differences between phases. effectively opposes flow and lessens flow rate. This is evident in comparisons between high viscosity oil mixtures in comparison with low viscosity mixtures.[28]

The inertia force is a volume force, which retains the direction and the magnitude of the motion, essentially the resultant force from the other forces acting upon the element. It is equivalent to the magnitude of the mass of the element multiplied by its acceleration. Acceleration is defined in this case as , due to the linear dimension L being proportional to time.

The buoyancy force represents the net action of gravity whilst the density is non-uniform. The surface-tension force acts on a line or curve element and minimizes the surface area of the interface - this force is specific to gas-liquid or liquid-liquid flows.[2]

Dimensionless key relations

[edit]
A vortex street around a cylinder which can occur in multiphase flow. This occurs around a Reynolds number between 40 and 1000 independent of cylinder size, fluid speed and fluid.[3]

From the forces shown in the table above, five independent dimensionless quantities can be derived, these relations provide insight into physical phenomena:

The Reynolds number. This number predicts whether flow is either turbulent or laminar.

At low Reynolds numbers, flow tends towards laminar flow, whereas at high numbers turbulence results from differences in fluid speed.

In general, laminar flow occurs when Re < 2300 and turbulent flow occurs when Re >4000. In the interval, both laminar and turbulent flows are possible and these are called transition flows. [29]

For a mixture of oil and water flowing at high velocity it is most common to form a dispersed bubble type flow. Turbulent flow consists of eddies of different size range. Eddies that have larger size than droplets, transport these droplets through the flow field. Eddies, which are smaller or equal to the size of the droplets, cause droplet deformation and break-up. It can be viewed as eddies collide with droplets and break them if they have sufficient energy to overcome the droplets internal forces.

At the same time, turbulent flow induces droplet-droplet interaction, which is important for the coalescence mechanism. When two droplets collide, this may lead to coalescence, resulting in a bigger droplet size.

The Euler number describes the relationship between the pressure and inertial forces.

It is used to characterise energy losses in the flow. A completely friction-less flow is represented by an Euler number of 1.[30] This number is important when the pressure force is dominant. Examples include, flow through pipes, flow over submerged bodies and flow of water through orifices.

The Froude number is the ratio of inertia against gravity.

When Fr < 1, small surface waves move upstream, Fr > 1 they will be carried downstream and when Fr = 0 the velocity is equal to the surface waves. This number is relevant when gravitational force is predominant in the fluid motion. For example open channel flow, wave motion in the ocean, forces on bridge piers and off shore structures.[30]

The Eötvös number defines the ratio of buoyancy compared with surface tension forces.

A high value for this number indicates that the system is relatively unaffected by surface tension effects. A low value indicates that surface tension dominates.

The Weber number determines the relationship between the inertial force and surface tension.

It also determines the droplet size of the disperse phase. This number is used extensively in flow regime maps. The influence of pipe diameter is well understood through the Weber number.

Three different regimes in a microgravity can be identified:

  1. Surface tension dominated regime with bubble and slug flow. (We<1)
  2. An inertia dominated regime with annular flow. (We>20)
  3. Transitional regime with a frothy slug-annular flow.

The transition from frothy slug-annular flow to fully developed annular flow occurs at We = 20.[30]

The Capillary number can be defined using the Weber number and the Reynolds number. It is the relative importance of viscous forces relative to surface forces.

In microchannel flows, the capillary number plays a critical role as both surface tension and viscous forces are important.[30]

In enhanced oil recovery operations, capillary number is an important number to consider. Whilst capillary number is higher, viscous forces dominate and the the effect of interface tension between fluids in rock pores are reduced thereby augmenting recovery. In typical reservoir conditions, capillary number varies from 10-8 to 10-2.[31]
