We study a high-viscosity two-phase flow through an analysis of the corresponding pressure signals. In particular, we investigate the flow of a glycerin–air mixture moving through a horizontal pipeline with a U-section installed midway along the pipe. Different combinations of liquid and air mass flow rates are experimentally tested. Then, we examine the moments of the statistical distributions obtained from the resulting pressure time series, in order to highlight the significant dynamical traits of the flow. Finally, we propose a novel correlation with two dimensionless parameters: the Euler number and a mass-flow-rate ratio to predict the pressure gradient in high-viscosity two-phase flow. Distinctive variations of the pressure gradients are observed in each section of the pipeline, which suggest that the local flow dynamics must not be disregarded in favor of global considerations.

The dataset presented in this article was collected in a laboratory flow circuit, which was designed to investigate high-viscosity flows. The data set is composed of 1200 s (equivalent to 12,000 samples) of mass flow and pressure measurements taken at five points along the pipeline. The first 300 s were recorded when the flow in the loop was composed only of glycerol. The remaining data were acquired when the flow was composed of a water–glycerol mixture. During the data acquisition, two extractions were produced. The research reported in [1] uses 160 s of the data provided here. This article explains in detail the experimental set-up and the principal instruments used for obtaining the dataset. The dataset is in the form of seven columns: Time, Mass Flow, Pressure 1, Pressure 2, Pressure 3, Pressure 4, Pressure 5, in supplementary Excel and Matlab files.

This paper presents a model for describing the flow of a mixture of water and glycerol in pressurized horizontal pipelines. The model is constituted by mass and momentum conservation equations together with experimental formulas for computing both the density and dynamic viscosity of the mixture. The model was programmed in MATLAB to be numerically solved, as well as to simulate flow with different fractions of water and glycerol in leaking pipelines, which could allow to conceive algorithms for diagnosing leaks during the transport of flows with high viscosity. To show the agreement between the model prediction and the actual flow behavior of the mixture, the numerical model solution, for certain boundary conditions, is compared with some data acquired during an experimental test in a laboratory pipeline.

Pipeline networks play an important role in the petroleum industry, because these systems provide a connection between ports, oil fields and refineries, as well as consumer markets. The refined products (commodities) such as gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, etc. are transported through a unique pipe. This is a way to avoid the additional cost of several pipes dedicated to specific products. This mode of transportation presents issues like product contamination, which increases the operation costs. Hence, the contaminated portion needs to be processed again or poured at low concentrations with other products. The issue of modeling and simulation of multi-commodity pipelines takes into account the pressure, velocity and including the fluid density. Then, in this paper a dynamic model of multi-commodity pipeline network is developed considering pipes interconnected with pumps. Moreover a mixture model is added to the network. This model allows to predict the contaminated interface in each pipe section.

Los sistemas de ductos brindan una conexión entre puertos, campos petrolíferos, refinerías y mercados de consumo. Los productos refinados como gasolinas, diésel, turbo-combustible, queroseno, entre otros, son transportados a través de una misma tubería. De esta forma se evitan costos adicionales de varias tuberías dedicadas a productos específicos. Este modo de transporte presenta el problema de la mezcla o contaminación entre productos, lo que incrementa los costos de operación. En este sentido, esta investigación presenta el problema de modelamiento y simulación de ductos utilizados para el transporte de diferentes clases de fluidos. Tal problema es solucionado teniendo en cuenta la presión, velocidad del medio y la densidad del fluido. Se considera un modelo matemático para predecir la cantidad de contaminación entre productos y se presenta el caso de varios tramos de tubería unidos por un modelo algebraico de bomba centrífuga. Con base en lo anterior, se diseña una estrategia de control predictivo teniendo en cuenta la optimización con subprocesos vecinos para coordinar los controles locales en las estaciones de bombeo y así lograr un rendimiento global en los niveles de contaminación. Finalmente, los resultados obtenidos confirman la eficiencia de la estrategia de control predictivo-cooperativo aplicada a una red de bombas centrífugas en un sistema serial de poliductos.
