Assessment of Two Phase Turbulent Mixing Models for Subchannel Analysis Relevant to BWR
Abstract: AbstractDetermination of turbulent mixing rate of two phase flow between neighboring subchannels is an important aspect of subchannel analysis in reactor rod bundles. Various models have been developed for two phase turbulent mixing rate between subchannels. These models show that turbulent mixing rate is strongly dependent on flow regimes; their validity was examined against specific or limited experiments. It is vital to evaluate these models by comparing the predicted two …

Productivity of Hydraulically Fractured Calcite Rich Shale Reservoirs Enhanced by Acid
Abstract: The current low oil prices have highlighted the need for enhancement to current production from shale formations. Prolonging the production life and increasing productivity of the fracture network in the shale plays can be a way to improve the economics. Many shale wells, drilled and completed based on current completion strategies, show sharp decline after initial flash production. One of the reasons behind this can be attributed to closure of …

Mechanism of Intensive Gas and Fluid Mixture in the Process of Vibroturbulization and Its Technological Applications
Abstract: Previously conducted experimental studies have established that in a certain narrow frequency range and upon reaching a certain value of the amplitude of water oscillations in a sealed vessel with above-water air shell, subjected to vertical vibration, a resonant phenomenon occurs, called “vibroturbulization”, leading to intensive mixing of media of different density. The studies carried out were purely experimental in nature and could not reveal the physicochemical mechanism of occurrence, …
