Experimental Investigation of Near-well Fluid Mechanics on the Scaling Mechanism in Narrow Rectangular Slots
DownloadSpring 2020
This experimental study investigates the effect of near-well fluid mechanics on the scaling failure mechanism specific to SAGD production well. The scaling failure mechanism can be triggered by the pressure drop phenomenon and causes the plugging of the slots in the oilfields. The scale formation...

Experimental Investigation of Viscoelastic Cavitating and Turbulent Channel Flows Subjected to Different Pressure Gradients
DownloadSpring 2023
Steam-assisted gravity drainage is a common method for oil production in Alberta, Canada. Production wells are equipped with inflow control devices to improve production efficiency. These devices utilize nozzle-type constrictions to enhance oil production by hindering water and gas breakthroughs....

Habibzadeh Gharehbaba, Alireza
The current work presents the results of an experimental study on the effects of submergence on the performance of a submerged hydraulic jump with baffle blocks downstream of a sluice gate. A wide range of Froude numbers, submergence factors, and block sizes, locations and arrangements were...

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE GEOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF BUBBLES/DROPLETS PASSING THROUGH A PORE SPACE
DownloadFall 2021
The multi-phase flow motion of droplets and bubbles through porous media has been reported for different applications. The importance of the effect of the presence of emulsions on the performance of steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) for oil extraction is discussed as a relevant process. SAGD...

Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Flows through Mini-channels and Micro-scale Orifices for SAGD Applications
DownloadSpring 2016
This experimental investigation examined the inflow to a producer well geometry found in a typical steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process. The flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid through mini-channels (Dh = 0.837 µm) and micro-scale orifices (keystone slots, Dh = 0.858 µm) were...

Fall 2023
As internal tides propagate in the ocean, they carry and dissipate energy over hundreds and even thousands of kilometers. We perform fully nonlinear simulations to examine the evolution of horizontally propagating, vertical mode-1 internal tides in non-uniformly stratified fluids, as it depends...
