Abstract523)      PDF (455KB)(314)      
The process of LNG rolling evolution was simulated after stratification according to control equation of the process of rolling in LNG spherical tank, based on VOF model and boussinesq. Numerical analysis of the affecting factors for the roll. Research shows that the root cause of rolling for LNG is layering. The average convection velocity increased in the tank is followed with increasing of the quantity of environment heat leakage, accelerated the roll time of LNG. LNG rolling time could be lag because of large differences density in layered area but natural convection is severe within the layer. Roll will get the evaporation rate gather in the lower then caused the pressure augment and serious harm in the tank in a moment. Finally, some suggestions to prevent rolling were given. Providing theoretical guidance for LNG safety storage and optimize operations.

The research of shutdown temperature drop rule in heated oil pipeline is the primary condition to ensure the safe restarts of the pipeline. Because of the complicated geological conditions along the pipelines, the pipelines often cross rivers and lakes. But there is no thermal-storing material such as soil around the underwater pipelines, so the shutdown and restart time of the whole lines depends on the temperature drop of the underwater pipelines. With the development of offshore oil field, the research of safe shutdown and restart rule become very important. Using FLUENT software, enthalpy-porosity technique was adopted to simulate the temperature drop rule of under water line during stopping transportation considering the rude oil concretion latent heat effects in temperature drop, and the position of erstarrungs zone and dilution zone and liquid oil zone was gained in different time. The result indicates that the temperature of rude oil in pipeline drops quickly at the beginning of stopping transportation; in the middle and later period, because the rude oil solidification release thermal and the layer of solidification become thicker, thermal resistance becomes larger, and the rate of temperature drop is decreased. The simulate result is in accordance with the fact.
