The temperature drop decreases the solubility of the components and paraffin wax precipitate and water condensate. The water molecules can form hydrates with small hydrocarbon molecules and precipitated wax may deposit on the pipe wall. This can lead to lower flow rate, higher pressure loss and/or clogging of the pipeline. Decreased flow rate results in lower production of hydrocarbons and thereby lower revenue. In this project, the Cubic Interpolated Pseudo-particle numerical simulation scheme has been anticipated to predict the interaction involving fluids and solid particles in an open channel with rectangular shaped cavity flow. In order to characterize the fluid flow, the numerical scheme alone is initially tested and validated in a lid driven cavity with a single particle. Comparing with the benchmark results has demonstrated the applicability of the method to reproduce fluid structure which is complex in the system. The rectangular shaped cavity is different by looking at its aspect ratio in modelling the real pipeline joints that are in a range of sizes. Various inlet velocities are also being applied in predicting various fluid flows characteristic. In this project, the constant heat flux is introduced at the bottom wall, showing the buoyancy effects towards the contaminant’s removal rate. Despite a slight deviation of the formations of vortices from some of the literature results, the general pattern is considered to be in close agreement with those published in the literature. atiff UTM 141 p.
