Abstract In nature, cavitation bubbles typically appear in clusters, engaging in interactions that create a variety of dynamic motion patterns. To better understand the behavior of multiple bubble collapses and the mechanisms of inter-bubble interaction, this study employs molecular dynamics simulation combined with a coarse-grained force field. By focusing on collapse morphology, local density, and pressure, it elucidates how the number and arrangement of bubbles influence the collapse process. The mechanisms behind inter-bubble interactions are also considered. The findings indicate that the collapse speed of unbounded bubbles located in lateral regions is greater than that of More >

Abstract An experimental investigation of the dynamics of the interface between two low-viscosity fluids with high density contrast oscillating in a fixed vertical slotted channel has been conducted. It has been found that as the amplitude of the liquid column oscillations increases, parametric oscillations of the interface are excited in the form of a standing wave located in the channel plane. In particular, depending on the interfacial tension, the standing waves have a frequency equal to that of liquid piston oscillations (harmonic response), or half of the frequency of oscillations of the liquid column in the… More >

Abstract High saturation pressure reservoirs experience rapid pressure decline during exploitation, leading to significant changes in crude oil phase behavior and a continuous increase in viscosity after degassing, which adversely affects oil recovery. This challenge is particularly acute in tight sandstone reservoirs. To optimize the development strategy for such reservoirs, a series of experiments were conducted using core samples from a high saturation tight sandstone reservoir in the JS oilfield. Gas-dissolved crude oil was prepared by mixing wellhead oil and gas samples, enabling the identification of the critical point where viscosity changes as pressure decreases. Oil-water… More >

Abstract As shale gas technology has advanced, the horizontal well fracturing model has seen widespread use, leading to substantial improvements in industrial gas output from shale gas wells. Nevertheless, a swift decline in the productivity of individual wells remains a challenge that must be addressed throughout the development process. In this study, gas wells with two different wellbore trajectory structures are considered, and the OLGA software is exploited to perform transient calculations on various tubing depth models. The results can be articulated as follows. In terms of flow patterns: for the deep well A₁ (upward-buckled), slug flow… More >

Abstract An experimental study of the diffusive mass transfer between a droplet and an oscillating immiscible liquid in a horizontal axisymmetric Hele-Shaw cell is carried out. The liquid oscillates radially in the cell. The transverse size of the droplet exceeds the cell thickness. The viscosities of the droplet and the surrounding liquid are comparable. Relevant effort is provided to design and test an experimental setup and validate a protocol for determining the mass transfer rate of a solute in a two-liquid system. In particular, fluorescent dye Rhodamine B is considered as the solute. A critical comparison… More >

Abstract This study focuses on addressing ventilation and dust removal challenges during the construction of small-section tunnels using drilling and blasting techniques. Specifically, the research examines the shale gas gathering and transmission trunk line project in the Weiyuan and Luzhou blocks. To gain deeper insights into dust migration patterns, numerical simulations were conducted. The study further analyzed dust migration behavior in small-section tunnels and large steep-sloped shafts, taking into account various factors such as ventilation distance, tunnel slope, and section size. The results indicate that optimal ventilation occurs at distances of 15 and 13 m. Additionally, More >

Abstract This study sheds light on how pore structure characteristics and varying dynamic pressure conditions influence the permeability of tight sandstone reservoirs, with a particular focus on the Paleozoic reservoirs in the Qingshimao Gas Field. Using CT scans of natural core samples, a three-dimensional digital core was constructed. The maximum ball method was applied to extract a related pore network model, and the pore structure characteristics of the core samples, such as pore radius, throat radius, pore volume, and coordination number, were quantitatively evaluated. The analysis revealed a normally distributed pore radius, suggesting a high degree… More >

Abstract Erosion in slurry pumps presents a persistent challenge in industrial applications. This study examines the erosion of the static components of a 150ZJ-C42 centrifugal slurry pump, currently in operation at a beneficiation plant, under varying particle conditions. Utilizing high-precision three-dimensional reverse engineering, the pump’s flow passage geometry was reconstructed to facilitate detailed erosion analysis. Focusing on the front and rear baffles of the pump chamber, as well as the volute, erosion patterns were analyzed for different particle volume concentrations and sizes. The results reveal that the highest erosion damage consistently occurs near the volute tongue,… More >

Abstract Thermal vibrational convection (TVC) refers to the time-averaged convection of a non-isothermal fluid subjected to oscillating force fields. It serves as an effective mechanism for heat transfer control, particularly under microgravity conditions. A key challenge in this field is understanding the effect of rotation on TVC, as fluid oscillations in rotating systems exhibit unique and specific characteristics. In this study, we examine TVC in a vertical flat layer with boundaries at different temperatures, rotating around a horizontal axis. The distinctive feature of this study is that the fluid oscillations within the cavity are not induced… More >

Abstract A centrifugal pump with a specific speed n_s = 67 is considered in this study to investigate the impact of blade cutting (at the outlet edge) on the fluid-induced noise, while keeping all the other geometric parameters unchanged. The required unsteady numerical calculations are conducted by applying the RNG k-ε turbulence model with the volute dipole being used as the sound source. The results indicate that the internal pressure energy of the centrifugal pump essentially depends on the blade passing frequency and its low-frequency harmonic frequency. Moreover, the pressure pulsation distribution directly affects the noise caused More >

Abstract Hydraulic sandblasting perforation plays a crucial role in the fracturing and reconstruction of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs. The jet nozzle is an essential part of the hydraulic perforation tool. Insufficient penetration depth, caused by excessive jet distances, presents challenges during the perforation process. To overcome this, an optimization design of the nozzle structure is required to enhance the perforation efficiency. In this paper, a computational fluid-dynamic model for conical-cylindrical nozzles has been elaborated. To further improve the rock-breaking efficiency of the jet nozzle, a fillet design is introduced at the nozzle inlet section. The… More >
