A non-Darcy flow develops in porous media when the velocity of reservoir fluids becomes extremely high because of the continuous narrowing of the cross section area of the flow and the convergence of flow streamlines. Therefore, the inertial effect increases significantly and the total pressure drop, required by fluids to, move from the outer drainage area towards the wellbore increases significantly due to the extra pressure drop caused by the non-Darcy flow. The extra pressure drop is described by the Forchheimer equation in which the deviation from Darcy's law is proportional to the inertial factor which in turn is a function of porous media characteristics such as permeability and porosity.

Comparative study of yield-power law drilling fluids flowing through annulus Ozbayoglu, M. E.; Omurlu, C. (Informa UK Limited, 2007-01-01) An exact solution for calculating the frictional pressure losses of yield-power law (YPL) fluids flowing through concentric annulus is proposed. A solution methodology is presented for determining the friction factor for laminar and nonlaminar flow regimes. The performance of the proposed model is compared to widely used models as well as the experimental results of 10 different mud samples obtained from the literature. The results showed that the proposed model could estimate the frictional pressure losses...
Experimental investagation of drag reduction effects of polymer additives on turbulent pipe flow Zeybek, Şerife; Uludağ, Yusuf; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005) Since the discovery of the drag reduction effects of even small amount of macromolecules in solutions in turbulent pipe flows, there have been many experimental and theoretical studies in order to understand mechanisms behind this phenomenon. Theories have been proposed based on the observations on the change in the characteristics of the turbulent flow near the pipe wall where friction of the momentum transfer between the flow and the conduit takes place. In this study drag reduction in fully developed tur...
MOTION OF A CIRCULATING POWER-LAW DROP TRANSLATING THROUGH NEWTONIAN FLUIDS AT INTERMEDIATE REYNOLDS NUMBERS Gürkan, Türker (Informa UK Limited, 1989-6) The equations of motion for the flow of a power-law fluid sphere in a Newtonian continuous phase have been approximately satisfied by Galerkin's method: External and internal stream functions have been obtained for the following ranges of variables: 10-50 for Re0, 0.1-1000 for the viscosity ratio parameters, X, and 0.6-1.0 for the dispersed phase power-law index, ni,. It is predicted that pseudoplasticity in the dispersed phase causes a reduction in the circulation within the drop and that it has a minor ef...
Investigation of the layering mechanism of agglomerate growth during drum pelletization Sastry, KVS; Dontula, P; Hoşten, Çetin (Elsevier BV, 2003-02-19) Conventional drum pelletization circuits exhibit undesirable surging behavior that is known to result from uncontrolled occurrence of the mechanisms of nucleation, coalescence and layering. This study was undertaken to investigate the mechanism of pellet growth by layering. Several laboratory experiments were carried out to delineate the effect of feed moisture content and feed quantity. This paper presents an analysis of the experimental results and a simple model to describe the layering process. (C) 2002...
Numerical simulation of radiating flows Karaismail, Ertan; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005) Predictive accuracy of the previously developed coupled code for the solution of the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the radiative transfer equation was first assessed by applying it to the prediction of thermally radiating, hydrodynamically developed laminar pipe flow for which the numerical solution had been reported in the literature. The effect of radiation on flow and temperature fields was demonstrated for different values of conduction to radiation ratio. It was found that ...
