Coupled Mooring Analysis of a CALM Buoy by a CFD Approach
(2016-12-08)
The catenary anchor leg mooring (CALM) system is widely used as an efficient and economic single point mooring system in offshore engineering applications. CALM buoys are often connected to FPSOs with large flowlines for ...
Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to Study Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Pool Fires
(2016-12-07)
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) pool fires pose a major risk to LNG facilities. The radiant energy from a LNG pool fire can be sufficiently high to threaten the structural integrity of the facility, plant personnel, fire ...
Experimental and CFD Simulation of a Helico-Axial Pump
(2016-12-08)
Multiphase flows are encountered in the majority of crude oil wells. Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs) are used to pump the crude oil in wells that do not have sufficient pressure head. Conventional ESPs are mixed or ...
Study of Toxic Gas Ingress in Non-Process Areas
(2016-07-18)
Although the majority of incidents involving toxic gas release in process industries occur outdoors, nearby buildings and its indoor environments are also at high risk. Particularly, non-process areas such as administration ...
Analysis and Wind Tunnel Testing of a Superelastic Slat-Cove Filler for Airframe Noise Reduction
(2016-11-18)
During low speed maneuvers, such as landing and approach, a significant portion of the noise generated by transport aircraft is due to airframe noise. The leading-edge slat is a primary source of airframe noise. Previous ...
Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics for Liquefied Natural Gas Pool Spreading and Vaporization on Water
(2016-04-22)
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a cryogenic liquid consisting predominantly of methane compressed to 1/600th of its gaseous volume for transportation. A release of LNG on water during marine operations can occur due to ...
CFD Based Prediction of Rotordynamic Coefficients and Stability Analysis for Centrifugal Pump/Compressor
(2016-10-10)
Fluid forces acting on the shrouded centrifugal pump/compressor impellers are evaluated using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. A face-seal impeller is selected to study for predicting the rotordynamic ...
Experimental and CFD Simulation of a Multiphase Canned Motor Pump
(2016-12-05)
Canned motor pumps are well suited for pumping hazardous and radioactive fluids due to their compact design and low maintenance cost. However, their application on artificial lift has not been investigated yet. ESP (Electric ...
Interaction of a Turbulent Wind with Ocean Surface Waves - Numerical Modeling
(2016-10-26)
Wave-modeling can be categorized in terms of different scales and theoretical frameworks. This dissertation focuses on the numerical modeling of wind-wave generation and its effects on wave growth and propagations. As ...
