Abstract
The oil transportation among the Middle East Countries and especially in Bahrain is extended and demands high performance and quality, reducing the leakages as well as the resistance to the flow simultaneously. Due to this reason in the present paper the crude oil dynamic behavior in a channel is studied in order to present valuable information for the flow variables and the separation zones according to various discharge or aspect ratios. The numerical approach is developed for T-junction channels due to the high oil and gas applications in the region, in order to transfer the oil from the source to the refinery. The most important aspect is the specification of the recirculation zones and stagnation points according to the flow velocity. The flow is steady, laminar and incompressible, while uniform, un-uniform and adaptive grids of various sizes have been generated in order to produce the desire accuracy even in high aspect ratio geometries. The results presents satisfied accuracy concerning the literature, while these are valuable data for the oil and gas companies in pipelines construction as well as to control operation issues.
