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 …

Two-layer displacement flow of miscible fluids with viscosity ratio: Experiments
We investigate experimentally the density-unstable displacement flow of two miscible fluids
along an inclined pipe. This means that the flow is from the top to bottom of the pipe …

A two-layer model for buoyant displacement flows in a channel with wall slip
SM Taghavi - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2018 - cambridge.org
We study theoretically buoyant displacement flows of two generalized Newtonian fluids in a
two-dimensional (2-D) channel with wall slip. We assume that a pseudo-interface separates …

Buoyant displacement flow of immiscible fluids in inclined ducts: a theoretical approach
We study the buoyant displacement flow of two immiscible Newtonian fluids in an inclined
duct (two-dimensional channel) theoretically. The fluids may have different viscosities. The …

Buoyant displacement flows in slightly non-uniform channels
R Mollaabbasi, SM Taghavi - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016 - cambridge.org
We consider displacement flows in slightly diverging or converging plane channels. The two
fluids are miscible and buoyancy is significant. We assume that the channel is oriented close …
