Beyond the Limitations of API RP-14E Erosional Velocity -A Field Study for Gas Condensate Wells

Fluid velocity has the potential to cause severe erosion damage to oil & gas production infrastructure. In order to avoid or alleviate damage due to erosion, the American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice (API RP) 14E recommends a threshold fluid velocity for production tubing and pipelines. However, field and laboratory data have proven that the applied empirical constants, known as C-f...

The Local Velocity Field

We only see a small fraction of the matter in the universe, but the rest gives itself away by the impact of its gravity. The distortions from pure Hubble flow (or peculiar velocities) that this matter creates have the potential to be a powerful cosmological tool, but are also a nuisance for extragalactic astronomers who wish to use redshifts to estimate distances to local galaxies. We provide a...

Velocity Field Analysis for Edge Turbulence Imaging

Submitted for the DPP07 Meeting of The American Physical Society Velocity Field Analysis for Edge Turbulence Imaging B.T. BROWN, T. MUNSAT, Center for Integrated Plasma Studies, University of Colorado, C. HOLLAND, G. TYNAN, Dept. Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, UCSD — Techniques for extracting time-resolved 2-D velocity maps have been developed for turbulence imaging diagnostics. A hybrid...

Velocity Field Design for the Modular

The Modular Distributed Manipulator System (MDMS) is a novel materials handling system which is a xed array of actuated wheels capable of inducing arbitrary motions in the plane. This work develops control laws for transporting and manipulating macroscopic-scale objects (parcels) that rest on the array. The dynamics of parcel transport and manipulation lead to the necessary understanding of suc...
