PumpLinx for the Oil and Gas Industry

The methodology applied to various types of devices used in the Oil and Gas industry will be examined in this presentation. The main areas to be addressed are Axial/Centrifugal pumps, Frac/Mud pumps, Valves, and Systems consisting of combinations of these. These different pump types require unique consideration in regards to the salient features of each device’s characteristics when generating the simulations. Specifically, the Axial/Centrifugal pump simulations require that attention is given to whether or not convergence has been achieved. Residual history (residual drop of 3 orders of magnitude for steady state) is not necessarily sufficient to determine the completeness of the solution (the flow field must be sensible). When analyzing the Frac/Mud pumps the effective viscosity is an issue and adjustments are needed to approximate the volume conditions. Valve simulations require that the proper settings are applied for it to function properly. All of these guidelines will be provided in this presentation. Finally, Systems of combinations of these components are examined.

Testimonials

Simerics-MP+ Testimonial from DM8 Composites “For new CFD users like us, Simerics-MP+ for Marine is the perfect package! It provides a smooth and robust CAD to CFD workflow in less than 7 steps along with zero CAD

Simerics-MP+ Testimonial from HSMarine “We have been using Simerics-MP+ at HSMarine Propulsion for the past two years. It has proved to be a very streamlined and robust CFD tool to run ship hull and propeller or waterjet simulations. Geometry

“Simerics-MP for me has surpassed all expectation….great program for the engineer: quick and easy”

“Simerics-MP+ has enabled our engineering team to accurately simulate performance of GenShock and its internal design features. It is delivering more accurate results for our hydraulic pump and valve modeling efforts than previous CFD packages, saving us time and money.”

“The use of Simerics-MP has validated the solution to our cavitation issue and provided us with a greater understanding of the dynamic fluid stresses within our pumps.”
