Abstract Snow interacting with a high-speed train can cause the formation of ice in the train bogie region and affect its safety. In this study, a wind-snow multiphase numerical approach is introduced for high-speed train bogies on the basis of the Euler-Lagrange discrete phase model. A particle-wall impact criterion is implemented to account for the presence of snow particles on the surface. Subsequently, numerical simulations are conducted, considering various snow particle diameter distributions and densities. The research results indicate that when the particle diameter is relatively small, the distribution of snow particles in the bogie cavity More >

Abstract This study presents a new multiphase flow model with transient heat transfer and pressure coupling to simulate HTHP (high temperature and high pressure) sour gas “kicks” phenomena. The model is intended to support the estimation of wellbore temperature and pressure when sour gas kicks occur during drilling operation. The model considers sour gas solubility, phase transition and effects of temperature and pressure on the physical parameters of drilling fluid. Experimental data for a large-diameter pipe flow are used to validate the model. The results indicate that with fluid circulation, the annulus temperature with H₂S kicks is… More >
