Flow Field Numerical Simulation of the Steam Injection Distributor in the Thermal Recovery of Heavy Oil
To understand the flow field distribution inside the steam distributor, and to compare the distribution effect of the three vertical steam distributor and the three spheres steam distributor, the inside flow field was simulated by Fluent and the effect of density distribution, gas phase distribution and velocity field on steam distribution was analyzed. From the results of numerical simulation, it can be seen that, in the process of steam dryness and flow distribution, three ball steam distributor is better than three vertical distributor. The establishment of a three spherical steam distributor provides a reference for the construction of actual field operations and high temperature and high pressure spherical distributor.
