摘要:

携砂压裂液在缩扩管内形成的湍流流动和颗粒群动力学耦合是产生压力损失的根源。通过建立实验系统,研究了携砂胍胶压裂液在缩扩管内的压力损失,得到了缩扩管降阻比随流量、变径比增加呈指数下降,并随支撑剂质量浓度(砂比)增大呈线性增加的变化规律,拟合出了携砂胍胶压裂液在缩扩管内的降阻比计算公式。考虑非牛顿流体的湍流流动和颗粒群碰撞、堆积的动力学耦合,建立了缩扩管内携砂压裂液固液两相耦合的数值分析模型和计算方法,其数值模拟结果与实验得到的压力损失误差均不大于10%,验证了数值模型和计算方法的准确性。经数值模拟研究表明:缩径和扩径端面区域存在流体速度大于颗粒速度以及高颗粒碰撞率和滞逸率现象,扩径端面存在较大旋涡区,且随支撑剂质量浓度增加旋涡流速增大;当支撑剂质量浓度从0增加到700 kg/m3(砂比56%)时,缩扩管压力损失的增加幅度达15%,与实验得到的16%基本一致,其中突缩管和突扩管压力损失的增加幅度分别为22%和12%。

Abstract:

The coupling between the turbulent flow formed by sand-carrying fracturing fluid and particle swarm dynamics is the source of pressure loss in contraction-expansion pipe. By building experiment system, this paper studies the pressure loss of the sand-carrying guar gum fracturing fluid in the contraction-expansion pipe, and the findings are shown as follows:the resistance-reducing ratio of contraction-expansion pipe presents an exponential decrease with the increase of flow rate and variable diameter ratio, while increases linearly with the increase of proppant mass concentration (sand ratio). Through fitting, an equation is obtained to calculate the resistance-reducing ratio of the sand-carrying guar gum fracturing fluid in the contraction-expansion pipe. Considering the dynamic coupling among turbulent flow, particle swarm collisions and accumulation of non-Newtonian fluids, a numerical analysis model and corresponding calculation method are established for solid-liquid two-phase coupling of sand-carrying fracturing fluid in the contraction-expansion pipe. The errors of numerical simulation results and the experimental pressure loss are not more than 10%, thus verifying the accuracy of the above numerical model and calculation method. The numerical simulation studies indicate that fluid velocity is larger than particle velocity on the contraction-expansion pipe end face, where the particle collision rate and stagnation rate are relatively high. There is a large vortex region on the contraction pipe end face, and the vortex flow rate increases with the increasing of proppant mass concentration. When the proppant mass concentration is increased from 0 (no particles)to 700 kg/m3 (sand ratio of 56%), the pressure loss of the contraction-expansion pipe is increased by 15%, which is basically consistent with the result obtained by experiment (16%). The increment in pressure loss of the sudden contraction pipe and the sudden expansion pipe is 22% and 12%, respectively.
