A novel practical approach to cool down time thermal analyses in the oil and gas field
(SINTEF Proceedings;10, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2024)This paper introduces an innovative 'iterative-FEA' (iFEA) approach aimed at maintaining the accuracy of subsea production system (SPS) cool-down simulations, typical for CFD, while significantly reducing computation time ... -
Computational Modelling of Electric Arc Behaviour in Direct-Current Smelting Furnaces Using Hydrogen as a Reductant
(SINTEF Proceedings;10, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2024)In this work, the authors present results from a computational multiphysics model for direct-current plasma arcs operating in open bath electric smelting furnaces. Plasma thermodynamic and thermophysical properties of a ... -
Comparison Of Dimethyl Ether And Natural Gas Combustion In A Swirl-Stabilized Industrial Burner
(SINTEF Proceedings;10, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2024)The European Green Deal aims to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, necessitating the European Union to transform its energy system for affordability, efficiency, and circularity. Biofuels will play ... -
CFD of a Flow Conditioning Unit
(SINTEF Proceedings;10, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2024)An open challenge related to subsea well compression is avoiding surges and slugs into a wet gas compressor station. A Flow Conditioning Unit (FCU) helps to dampen the sudden changes that are caused by variations in ... -
Modeling a Pilot Furnace for Manganese Alloys
(SINTEF Proceedings;10, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2024)This paper presents the progress in developing a 2D-axisymmetric finite element method model for a pilot-scale furnace used for the production of manganese alloys. The model is specifically designed to simulate furnace ... -
Improving Flow Balancing: Employing GNF-X for Predicting Flow Profile
(SINTEF Proceedings;10, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2024)Flow balancing is the process of changing the geometry of an extrusion die to achieve a uniform flow distribution at the die-exit. This can be an iterative and costly process. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is often ... -
A practical approach to calculating inertial forces for nontrivial subsea structures using CFD simulation
(SINTEF Proceedings;10, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2024)In the oil and gas industry, the majority of subsea structures are subjected to considerable forces from sea waves and currents. It is therefore of critical importance to be able to accurately assess these forces, both ... -
Enhancing Extrusion Performance: Macroscopic Analysis of Dispersive Mixing Sections
(SINTEF Proceedings;10, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2024)Dispersion is a critical process within the extrusion industry. The attention of this study is drawn to the deficiency in dispersive mixing quality in single screw extruders compared to their twin screw counterparts. This ... -
A Practical Computational Model To Estimate PAH Emission From Furnaces
(SINTEF Proceedings;10, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2024)Due to the large computational overhead associated with simulating the PAH chemistry, predicting the PAH emission from industrial furnaces based on detailed CFD simulations is impractical. To address the lack of tools for ... -
CFD analysis of ultrasonic vibrations to enhance recycled polymer extrusion efficiency
(SINTEF Proceedings;10, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2024)The use of recycled polymers within the field of extrusion is difficult due to their often inconsistent viscosity related to variations in composition and molecular weight. Such variations lead to fluctuations in die ... -
Success stories of CFD Modelling in Understanding the Continuous Casting Process: The Impact of Microscopic Dynamics on Macroscopic Scales
