Fuzzy logic modelling of sediment transport in annulus

Müftüoğlu, Tevfik Denizhan

The understanding of sediment transport with fluid in pipes is one of the important issues in hydraulics engineering. If the fluid velocity is lower than a critical value, a stationary cuttings bed develops, which may cause excessive head loss. In this study, a Fuzzy Logic (FL) model is developed to estimate stationary cuttings bed thickness inside the annulus. Experimental data is collected from literature in order to train proposed models. Results showed that the cuttings bed thickness could be estimated using the developed model with a reasonable accuracy when compared with the experimental ...Daha fazlası

Modeling and experimental study of turbulent newtonian fluid in fully eccentric annulus considering temperature and pipe rotation effects

In this work, the effect of temperature on the pressure loss of Newtonian fluid in a fully eccentric annulus with pipe rotation is investigated. For this purpose, initially comprehensive experimental study has been conducted at Izmir Katip Celebi University (IKCU), Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics Laboratory of Civil Engineering Department. Effect of temperature has been observed for flow velocities from 0.7 m/s to 3.4 m/s, for pipe rotations from 0 rpm to 120 rpm, and for temperatures is from 20 °C to 65 °C. The pressure loss within the test section is recorded. An increase in the liquid temper ...Daha fazlası
