FILTER MEDIA DEVELOPMENT WITH COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS

摘要

This paper presents two studies of how computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been used by GKD to im-prove the performance of filter media and aid the determination of characterising parameters. In the first study CFD is used to help specify a more robust filter medium for an oil/gas application which consequently facilitated higher daily production rates. In the second study CFD is used as a numerical simulation of the well-known bubble point test and favourable comparisons are made with experimental measurements.
