Numerical Simulation and Optimization Design of the Annular Mechanical Foam Breaker
The annular foam breaker is one which uses the vacuum and shear force generated by the Coanda effect to break foam. The pressure distribution directly affects its performance. So an investigation on the flow characteristics inside the annular foam breaker is important to optimize its structure. In this paper, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT, is employed to simulate the flow ...
متن کاملEXPERIMENT AND APPLICATION OF AN ANNULAR FOAM BREAKER FOR FOAM DRILLING FLUID (RESEARCH NOTE)
The annular foam breaker is one which uses the vacuum and shear force generated by the Coanda effect to break foam. Its effectiveness in destroying drilling foam has been test in wellbore flow simulation loop experimental stand. Experimental results showed that the operating pressure of the annular foam breaker should be larger than 0.6MPa and the stabilizers concentration of the foam drilling ...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of deformation of a metal foam Numerical simulation of deformation of a metal foam
Mathematical model for the description of deformation of a porous metal is constructed on the basis of generalized rheological method. In this method a new rheological element, so-called rigid contact, is used to describe the uniaxial deformation of materials with different resistance to tension and compression. Change in the resistance of a porous metal to external loads, when the collapse of ...
متن کاملExperimental and Numerical Simulation Investigation on Crushing Response of Foam-Filled Conical Tubes Stiffened with Annular Rings
In this paper, crashworthiness characteristics of conical steel tubes stiffened by annular rings and rigid polyurethane foam are investigated. For this purpose, wide circumferential rings are created from the outer surface of the conical tube at some determined areas along tube length. In fact, this method divides a long conical tube into several tubes of shorter length. When this structure is ...
متن کاملInsight into the physics of foam densification via numerical simulation
Foamed materials are increasingly finding application in engineering systems on account of their unique properties. The basic mechanics which gives rise to these properties is well established, they are the result of collapsing the foam microstructure. Despite a basic understanding, the relationship between the details of foam microstructure and foam bulk response is generally unknown. With con...
