Bingham's model in the oil and gas industry

IA Frigaard, KG Paso, PR de Souza Mendes - Rheologica Acta, 2017 - Springer
Yield stress fluid flows occur in a great many operations and unit processes within the oil
and gas industry. This paper reviews this usage within reservoir flows of heavy oil, drilling …

Numerical simulations of complex yield-stress fluid flows

E Mitsoulis, J Tsamopoulos - Rheologica Acta, 2017 - Springer
Viscoplasticity is characterized by a yield stress, below which the materials will not deform
and above which they will deform and flow according to different constitutive relations …

Simple yield stress fluids

I Frigaard - Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, 2019 - Elsevier
Recent years have seen a flurry of research on yield stress fluids, approached from different
perspectives (physicochemical, rheological and fluid mechanical), considering different …

The influence of boundaries on gravity currents and thin films: drainage, confinement, convergence, and deformation effects

Z Zheng, HA Stone - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - annualreviews.org
Thin film flows, whether driven by gravity, surface tension, or the relaxation of elastic
boundaries, occur in many natural and industrial processes. Applications span problems of …

From breakup to coiling and buckling regimes in buoyant viscoplastic injections

S Akbari, SM Taghavi - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
We study the injection flow of a heavy viscoplastic fluid into a light Newtonian fluid, via
modelling and experiments. The injection is carried out downward, via an eccentric inner …

Fluid experiments on the dump bailing method in the plug and abandonment of oil and gas wells

S Akbari, SM Taghavi - Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2021 - Elsevier
Plug and abandonment (P&A) operations prevent oil and gas leakages from hydrocarbon
zones to different formations, freshwater underground resources, and the surface. Cement …

Characteristics of stratified flows of Newtonian/non-Newtonian shear-thinning fluids

D Picchi, P Poesio, A Ullmann, N Brauner - International Journal of …, 2017 - Elsevier
Exact solutions for laminar stratified flows of Newtonian/non-Newtonian shear-thinning fluids
in horizontal and inclined channels are presented. An iterative algorithm is proposed to …

Miscible displacement flows in near-horizontal ducts at low Atwood number

SM Taghavi, K Alba, T Séon… - Journal of fluid …, 2012 - cambridge.org
We study buoyant displacement flows with two miscible fluids of equal viscosity in the
regime of low Atwood number and in ducts that are inclined close to horizontal. Using a …

Incomplete fluid–fluid displacement of yield stress fluids in near-horizontal pipes: experiments and theory

SM Taghavi, K Alba, M Moyers-Gonzalez… - Journal of Non …, 2012 - Elsevier
We present results of a primarily experimental study of buoyant miscible displacement flows
of a yield stress fluid by a higher density Newtonian fluid along a long pipe, inclined at …

Flow regimes for fluid injection into a confined porous medium

Z Zheng, B Guo, IC Christov, MA Celia… - Journal of Fluid …, 2015 - cambridge.org
We report theoretical and numerical studies of the flow behaviour when a fluid is injected
into a confined porous medium saturated with another fluid of different density and viscosity …
