Abstract
The results of a two-fluid model computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of the bottom water draw-off system are presented. The simulated flow in the pipeline is segregated and consists of a water layer at the bottom and oil dispersion on top of it. CFD simulations allowed calculations of oil concentration in the bottom draw-off pipe and visualization of the behavior of the interface between the top and bottom fluid layers in the main pipe. A simplified one-dimensional analysis, which makes use of the CFD results is also performed and provides a useful chart that should aid the complex operation of the bottom water draw-off system.
