Demulsifying agent simplified model for offshore oil wells

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This article addresses key challenges in offshore petroleum production caused by multiphase flow instabilities, such as slug flow and emulsion formation. Traditionally, severe slugging is mitigated by increasing wellhead backpressure through partial choke valve closure. In this context, a simplified dynamic model—the fast offshore wells model (

Occurrence of severe slugging in oil production lines and mitigation methods: A numerical simulation approach using ALFAsim®

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Severe slugging represents a major challenge in offshore production systems, potentially compromising operational stability and the integrity of installations. Although established simulators such as OLGA® are widely used for its analysis, there is a gap in the literature regarding the application of the one‐dimensional simulator ALFAsim® for ...

Thresholds: The metaphorical foundations of powerful knowledge

open access: yesThe Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper advances a theoretical account of threshold concepts as metaphorical‐relational structures that reorganise meaning across contexts. Building on conceptual metaphor theory, we propose that threshold concepts can be understood as sites of schema‐level reorganisation: deep, embodied patterns of relational logic that scaffold abstract ...

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.
