Non-symmetric distributions of solids deposition for solid-water stratified flow in deviated tubing strings

Dynamic performance on solids flow with water in deviated tubing is essential for the reliability of pump and normal operation of horizontal and directional wells.Compared with coal-water flow in vertical tubing and sand-oil flow with high production in deviated tubing,solids deposition with water shows obvious non-symmetric distributions in deviated tubing from simulations and experiments.The mathematical model of two phase flow was developed under coupling conditions of deviated tubing,low flow rate and viscosity based on the kinetic theory of granular flow and first-order discrete scheme.The results show that solid-water stratified flow in deviated tubing can be divided into two zones of suspension bed and the moving bed throughout the flow field.The solid flowing velocity with water is negative and particles slide down at the bottom of moving bed zone.The process of solids flow with water in deviated tubing will produce pressure loss and consume the kinetic energy.The thickness of deposited layer and the flowing velocity of solids flow downward with water at the moving bed zone enhance with the decreased inlet flow rate and the increased particle size,tubing inside diameter(ID)and inclination angle.Solids are easier into suspension from the upper part of moving bed zone to suspension bed zone and more solid particles flow with water towards the tubing outlet with the increase of inlet flowing velocity.The decision is made to reduce the screen width,tubing ID and inclination angle to maintain to be greater than critical deposition velocity in order to prevent solids settling.And it provides the theoretical basis and technical reserves for solid control and offers an effective approach to enhance tubing cleaning in deviated strings.

Ab Initio Study of Single-and Double-Electron Capture Processes in Collisions of He^(2+) Ions and Ne Atoms

The single-and double-electron capture(SEC, DEC) processes of He^(2+) ions colliding with Ne atoms are studied by utilizing the full quantum-mechanical molecular-orbital close-coupling method. Total and state-selective SEC and DEC cross sections are presented in the energy region of 2 eV/u to 20 keV/u. Results show that the dominant reaction channel is Ne^(+)(2s2p^(6) ^(2)S) + He^(+)(1s) in the considered energy region due to strong couplings with the initial state Ne(2s^(2)2p^(6)^(1)S) + He^(2+) around the internuclear distance of 4.6 a.u. In our calculations, the SEC cross sections decrease initially and then increase whereby, the minimum point is around 0.38 keV/u with the increase of collision energies. After considering the effects of the electron translation factor(ETF), the SEC cross sections are increased by 15%–25% nearby the energy region of keV/u and agree better with the available results. The DEC cross sections are smaller than those of SEC because of the larger energy gaps and no strong couplings with the initial state. Due to the Demkov-type couplings between DEC channel Ne^(2+)(2s^(2)2p^(4)^(1)S) + He(1s^(2)) and the dominating SEC channel Ne^(+)(2s2p^(6) ^(2)S) + He^(+)(1s), the DEC cross sections increase with increasing impact energies. Good consistency can also be found between the present DEC and the experimental measurements in the overlapping energy region.

Charge transfer in low-energy collisions of Be^3+ and B^4+ ions with He

The nonradiative charge-transfer processes of Be3+(1s)/B4+(1s)colliding with He(1s2)are investigated by the quantum-mechanical molecular orbital close-coupling(QMOCC)method from 10 eV/u to 1800 eV/u.Total and state-selective cross sections are obtained and compared with other results available.Although the incident ions have the same number of electrons and collide with the same target,their cross sections are different due to the differences in molecular structure.For Be3+(1s)+He(1s2),only single-electron-capture(SEC)states are important and the total cross sections have a broad maximum around E=150 eV/u.While for B4+(1s)+He(1s2),both the SEC and double-electron-capture(DEC)processes are important,and the total SEC and DEC cross sections decrease rapidly with the energy decreasing.

Charge transfer and excitation processes in low energy collisions of He ions with Li atoms

Electron capture between solar wind ions and neutral species has contributed to the understanding of X-ray production from solar system bodies.The charge transfer and excitation processes in solar wind ions of He^(+)(1 s) colliding with Li(1 s^(2)2 s) atoms are studied by utilizing the full quantum-mechanical molecular-orbital close-coupling(QMOCC) method with impact energies of 0.003-2 keV amu-1.Comparisons of cross sections from single-and multi-configurational calculations for a selfconsistent field(SCF and MCSCF) process are carried out.Results show that the dominant reaction channels are He(1 s2 l ^(1,3) L)+Li^(+)(1 s^(2) ^(1) S).Good consistency is found among present total and state-selective charge transfer and excitation cross sections with other theoretical and experimental data in the same energy region.Due to the differences between coupling matrix elements in high-energy states,the charge transfer cross sections calculated from SCF and MCSCF split slightly as E> 0.4 keV amu-1.Weak Stueckelberg oscillations for charge transfer appear in the present work.In addition,the differences of cross sections for electron excitation to Li(ls^(2)2 p) in the singlet/triplet molecular states with He+(1 s) are much smaller than those of charge transfer processes because of the similar energy gaps from Li(ls^(2)2 p) to the ground state in singlet/triplet states in the large R region.

Single-and Double-Electron Capture Processes in Low-Energy Collisions of N^4+ Ions with He

We investigate the electron capture processes of N4+(1s22s)colliding with He(1s2)in the energy range of 10-1700 eV/amu using the quantum-mechanical molecular-orbital close-coupling(QMOCC)method.Total and stateselective single-electron capture and double-electron capture(SEC and DEC)cross sections are obtained and compared with other available studies.The results agree better with the experimental data in both trend and magnitude when the electron translation factor(ETF)effects are included.Our results indicate that both the SEC and DEC processes play important roles in the considered energy region.For the SEC processes,the N3+(1s22p2)+He+(1s)states are the dominant capture states,and the N^2+(1s^2 2s2p^2)+He^2+states are the main DEC states.

Production of d_(NΩ)dibaryon in kaon induced reactions

In this paper,we propose to investigate the d_(NΩ)dibaryon production in the K-p-→d_(NΩ)≡0 process by utilizing a kaon beam with a typical momentum of approximately 10 GeV,which may be available at COMPASS,OKA@U-70,and SPS@CERN.The cross sections for K-p-→d_(NΩ)=O are estimated,and in particular,the magnitude of the cross sections is evaluated to be several hundred nanobarns at Pk=20 GeV.Considering that the d_(NΩ)dibaryon dominantly decays into≡Λand≡∑,we also estimate the cross sections for K-p→≡0Λ≡0 and K~p→≡-∑+≡0,where the d_(NΩ)dibaryon can be observed in the invariant mass distributions of≡0Λand≡-∑+,respectively.

The compromising foraging of a clonal submerged plant in variable environments of substrate type and light condition: a simulation study

Aims Foraging behavior was concerned less in plants especially for clonal aquatic species.The goal of this study was to test the foraging behav-ior and the function of phenotypic plasticity of a clonal submerged plant,Potamogeton maackianus A.Benn in variable manipulative environments.Methods To explore the foraging behavior of a clonal submerged plant,clones of P.maackianus were cultivated in variable environments of different substrate types and light conditions.We measured bio-mass,specific root area(SRA),specific root length(SRL),branch-ing angle of the ramet,chlorophyll content of apical leaves(CCAL),Fv/Fm(chlorophyll fluorescence parameter that indicates maximal photosystem II(PS II)efficiency)and biomass distribution in soil and light contrast treatments after harvest.Important Findings We found that the atypical non-clonal-like foraging behavior homogenized the performance of the stoloniferous clonal spe-cies,P.maackianus,in the measurement of biomass in our study.Substrate type had significant effects on most traits of P.maackianus,except on total biomass,shoot biomass distribution and CCAL.Patchy substrate mediated more root distribution into sand patch rather than into clay patch.Increase of SRA,SRL and Fv/Fm might be adaptive to substrate heterogeneity.Moreover,substrate hetero-geneity induced‘sidewalk’stolon lineage on the edge of sand patch along the patch border.Light condition only had significant effects on branching angle,shoot biomass distribution and Fv/Fm.Shade led to more shoot assignment in light-rich zone than in light-poor zone.Potamogeton maackianus adjusted the branching angle of ramet rather than clonal exploitation in heterogeneous substrates with patchy shade.Moreover,shade led to higher Fv/Fm.A com-promising foraging strategy promoted P.maackianus to escape unfa-vorable environments.Phenotypic plasticity,which maximized the performance of P.maackianus in the measurement of biomass in variable environments,may explain its domination in some shallow lakes of the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River.
