Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of pipeline transportation technology, specifically to a method, apparatus, system, and storage medium for determining an unsteady-state model for pipeline commissioning in permafrost regions. Background Technology

[0002] Permafrost regions are widely distributed in my country, containing abundant oil and natural gas resources. Due to their advantages such as low cost, large capacity, small land occupation, and short construction period, laying buried pipelines in permafrost regions is currently and will remain the primary route for transporting oil and gas resources. Buried oil pipelines in permafrost regions are generally put into operation using a water-water combined transport method, a process involving a gas-liquid two-phase unsteady flow. The complex environment of buried pipelines, coupled with the low temperatures of the permafrost region and significant elevation differences, further complicates their commissioning.

[0003] Currently, the most widely used model for unsteady gas-liquid two-phase flow in pipelines is the Wiggert model. This model is designed for gas cavitation in pipelines, neglects gas momentum, employs isothermal assumptions, and does not include energy equations. Therefore, it cannot simulate the heat exchange between the fluid inside the pipeline and the surrounding frozen soil. Discrete vapor model (DVCM) and discrete cavitation model (DGCM) are relatively simple and can be directly combined with the traditional method of characteristics (MOC). However, the pressure calculation error is large in the cavitation region, and for long-distance oil pipelines, the accumulation of errors can lead to a large deviation in the final calculation. In addition, there is a numerical model in the literature that combines the DGCM model with the shock wave capture method, which can significantly improve the accuracy and stability of numerical calculations. All of these models employ isothermal assumptions, and therefore are not applicable to the thermodynamic coupling problem between frozen soil and the two-phase flow inside the pipeline. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a method, apparatus, system, and storage medium for determining the unsteady-state model for pipeline commissioning in permafrost areas, in order to solve the technical defect in the prior art where the two-phase flow model does not consider the heat exchange phenomenon inside and outside the pipeline, resulting in a large deviation in the pressure calculation of the pipeline area.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application.

If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0050] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this application involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0051] Figure 1 The illustration schematically shows a flowchart of a method for determining a non-steady-state model for pipeline commissioning in permafrost regions, according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a method for determining the unsteady-state model for pipeline commissioning in frozen soil areas is provided. The method may include the following steps.

[0052] Step 101: Obtain the BN model of the multi-medium fluid. The BN model includes multiple relaxation processes, which include at least chemical potential relaxation process, velocity relaxation process, pressure relaxation process, temperature relaxation process and energy relaxation process.

[0053] In this application's embodiments, the BN model refers to the Baer-Nuziato model. It should be noted that before constructing the model, this application thoroughly investigated various multiphase transient flow models describing pipelines, including the DVCM model, DGCM model, Wiggert model, and other similar models. These models are mostly based on strong assumptions, such as the single-temperature assumption (i.e., the temperature between all phases remains the same), the single-velocity assumption, and the concentration of gas phase volume at grid points. Furthermore, most of these models neglect the energy equation, which is crucial for simulating pipeline commissioning, and do not comprehensively consider the compressibility of each phase fluid. Therefore, the modeling approach of this application starts from the most complete Baer-Nuziato model and derives an unsteady multiphase flow model for the pipeline commissioning process. The BN model includes multiple relaxation processes, including chemical potential relaxation, velocity relaxation, pressure relaxation, temperature relaxation, and energy relaxation. A relaxation process refers to the process by which a system in equilibrium, after being subjected to a transient external disturbance, will inevitably recover to its original equilibrium state after a certain period of time. The time it takes for the system to gradually recover from a non-equilibrium state to an equilibrium state is called the relaxation time.

[0054] In this embodiment of the application, the BN model is as shown in formula (1):

[0055]

[0056]

[0057]

[0058]

[0059] In the BN model, from top to bottom, the equations are the mass balance equation, momentum balance equation, energy balance equation, and volume fraction evolution equation for medium k. k ,ρ k ,u k ,p k , E k qk represent volume fraction, density, velocity, pressure, viscous stress tensor, total energy, and heat flux, respectively.

[0060] Among them, the total energy E k Including internal energy e k and kinetic energy Internal energy e k The density and pressure can be related through the equation of state, specifically as shown in equation (1-1):

[0061]

[0062]

[0063] e k =e k (ρ k ,p k (1-1)

[0064] In this embodiment, multiple relaxation processes are shown in formula (2):

[0065]

[0066]

[0067]

[0068]

[0069]

[0070] From top to bottom, these are the chemical potential relaxation process, velocity relaxation process, pressure relaxation process, temperature relaxation process, and energy relaxation process, v kl ,θ kl η kl , These represent the corresponding relaxation rates.

[0071] It should be noted that these relaxation processes correspond to phase transition, interphase friction, interphase compression, and heat exchange, respectively. The expression for the energy relaxation process represents the energy exchange caused by the phase transition. Each medium has its own state parameters, equations of state, constitutive relations, and governing equations. The media are coupled through equations relating to volume fractions.

[0072] Step 102: Obtain the multiphase flow control volume for pipeline flow in multiphase frozen soil areas.

[0073] In this application, permafrost refers to various rocks and soils containing ice at temperatures below zero degrees Celsius. It can generally be divided into short-term permafrost (a few hours / days to half a month), seasonal permafrost (half a month to several months), and perennial permafrost. Perennial permafrost, also known as permanent permafrost, refers to soil layers that remain frozen for two years or more. Permafrost exhibits rheological properties, and its long-term strength is far lower than its instantaneous strength. Due to these characteristics, constructing engineering structures in permafrost regions faces two major dangers: frost heave and thaw settlement. In this application, the permafrost region can refer to a perennial permafrost area. It should be noted that the control volume is a concept in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, referring to a fixed, unchanging spatial volume enclosed by control surfaces within a specific space. The boundary of this space is called the control surface, which can be the wall of a real object or an imaginary interface. The control volume can be geometrically closed and fixed relative to a selected coordinate system. Within the control body, the exchange of matter and energy can occur, but this exchange is limited; that is, there is an exchange of mass and energy between the control body and the external environment, but it is not frictionless. For example... Figure 2 The diagram illustrates a control module for both single-phase and multiphase flow. Figure 2 In the image, from left to right, are a single-phase flow control volume and a multiphase flow control volume. The multiphase flow case is clearly much more complex than the single-phase flow case. In a multiphase flow control volume, each phase has corresponding parameters such as density, velocity, pressure, temperature, equation of state, and constitutive relations. Interphase interactions exist in a multiphase flow control volume, such as the interphase viscous stress tensor. Interphase heat flow q I And the interactions between each phase and the external environment, such as the frictional force τ between each phase and the wall. kwx The heat flow q between each phase and the external environment w,k .

[0074] Step 103: Determine the control equations for pipeline flow in multiphase frozen soil regions based on the control volume parameters, multiphase flow control volume, and BN model.

[0075] In this embodiment of the application, after obtaining the BN model and the multiphase flow control volume, according to as follows Figure 2 The control volume parameters of the multiphase flow control volume shown can be obtained. Therefore, the control equations for pipeline flow in multiphase frozen soil areas can be further determined based on the control volume parameters of the multiphase flow control volume, the multiphase flow control volume, and the BN model.

[0076] In this embodiment of the application, determining the control equations for pipeline flow in multiphase frozen soil regions based on the control volume parameters of the multiphase flow control volume, the multiphase flow control volume, and the BN model includes: integrating the BN model over the control volume using a preset method to determine the control equations for pipeline flow in multiphase frozen soil regions based on the control volume parameters and the BN model.

[0077] It should be noted that the traditional single-phase pipe fluid dynamics equations are relatively mature. However, in the control volume of traditional single-phase pipe flow, the interaction between the fluid and the pipe and the external environment includes the frictional force of the pipe wall. The heat flow q of the fluid through the pipe wall and the outside environment w In addition, internal friction exists in the fluid. The original single-phase flow control volume model equations do not include heat exchange between the fluid and the external environment, i.e., the heat flow q from the external environment. w Therefore, the corresponding term Kπd(T) is introduced in this application. env -T) represents the heat flow q between the pipe wall and the outside environment. w The governing equations for a single-phase flow control system can be expressed as shown in equation (2-1):

[0078]

[0079] Where θ is the pipe inclination angle of the single-phase flow control volume, A is the pipe cross-sectional area of ​​the single-phase flow control volume, g is the gravitational acceleration, d is the pipe inner diameter of the single-phase flow control volume, and K is the overall heat transfer coefficient.

[0080] To obtain the representation of the BN model in pipeline commissioning, this technical solution simplifies it within the multiphase flow control volume using the ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian) method. The ALE method is used to integrate the BN model within the control volume to obtain the vector form, thus deriving the corresponding control equations for pipeline flow in multiphase frozen soil regions. The ALE method is a numerical method for solving fluid mechanics problems, combining the advantages of Lagrangian and Eulerian methods, and is suitable for handling problems with large deformations and moving meshes.

[0081] In this embodiment, the governing equation is determined according to formula (3):

[0082]

[0083] Where U is a conserved variable, H(U) is the interaction between phases at each system surface of the control volume, and C i (t) represents the volume of the control volume, and v represents the movement speed of the control volume interface.

[0084] In the formula, the conserved variable H(U) represents the interaction between phases at each surface of the control volume. The conserved variable H(U) includes volume fraction, mass, momentum, and energy, and can be in vector form as shown in formula (3-1):

[0085]

[0086] Where, α k , ρ k,u k ,p k , Let represent the volume fraction, density, velocity vector, pressure, and specific total energy of the k-th phase, respectively.

[0087] In the formula, the corresponding flux can include a vector form as shown in formula (3-2):

[0088]

[0089] To further determine the expression of the BN model in pipeline commissioning, the control equations of the multiphase flow control system can be discretized. Therefore, equation (3) can be further expanded into the discretized form shown in equation (3-3):

[0090]

[0091] The last two terms include the interaction terms between the multiphase flow control volume and the external environment, where n is the outward normal vector at the wall of the multiphase flow control volume.

[0092] In this embodiment, the governing equations satisfy volume conservation and area conservation, which are determined according to formulas (5) and (6), respectively:

[0093]

[0094]

[0095] Where U is a conserved variable, H(U) is the interaction between phases at each system surface of the control volume, and C i (t) represents the volume of the control volume, and v represents the movement speed of the control volume interface.

[0096] It should be noted that during the discretization of the control equations, the control equations of the multiphase flow control volume need to satisfy the volume conservation relationship and area conservation relationship as shown in formulas (5) and (6).

[0097] Step 104: Under the condition that the time step and spatial step of the multiphase flow control volume meet the first preset condition and the velocity relaxation process meets the second preset condition, determine the unsteady-state model for pipeline commissioning in the frozen soil area based on the control equation.

[0098] In the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the first preset condition may refer to the time step and spatial step approaching zero, and the second preset condition may refer to the time of the velocity relaxation process approaching zero, i.e., when the interphase friction is large. Therefore, when the time step and spatial step of the multiphase flow control volume approach zero and the time of the velocity relaxation process approaches zero, the unsteady-state model for pipeline commissioning in frozen soil areas can be determined based on the control equations of the multiphase flow control volume.

[0099] In this embodiment, the unsteady-state model is determined according to formula (4):

[0100]

[0101]

[0102]

[0103]

[0104] Where ρ is the density of the mixture, p is the pressure of the mixture, and πdτ w,k To control the wall friction of the body, To control the elastic deformation of the pipe, α k πdK(T0-T) represents the heat exchange between the control volume and the soil, where A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the control volume pipe, g is the gravitational acceleration, d is the inner diameter of the control volume pipe, and K is the overall heat transfer coefficient of the control volume.

[0105] In this technical solution, by incorporating interaction with the external environment into formula (3-3), and with the time step and spatial step approaching zero, we can obtain the pipeline commissioning unsteady multiphase flow model one as shown in formula (4-1):

[0106]

[0107]

[0108]

[0109]

[0110] In actual testing, it was found that the wave structure was complex, the computational load was large, and the problem being solved was a rigid system with a limited time step. Therefore, in order to improve computational efficiency, the model needs to be simplified appropriately. The multiphase flow BN model (relaxed system) is simplified by asymptotic analysis. That is, when the velocity relaxation time approaches zero (the interphase friction is large), the asymptotic analysis is performed with the relaxation time as a small quantity (retained to the zero order). Formula (4-1) can be further simplified to obtain the unsteady-state model for pipeline commissioning in frozen soil areas as shown in Formula (4). Compared with the model shown in Formula (4-1), the model shown in Formula (4) has a greater advantage in computational efficiency. Moreover, the Riemann solution of the simplified unsteady-state model is simplified from a seven-wave structure to a three-wave structure. The three-wave structure Riemann solver has higher computational efficiency and is more robust.

[0111] This technical solution takes into account the heat exchange between pipelines and the external environment during actual production. By introducing the BN model, which can simulate the interaction of pressure waves, and by introducing terms corresponding to heat exchange on the basis of the BN model, the accuracy of pressure calculation in the pipeline area is effectively improved.

[0112] Compared to previous models, this technical solution derives a multiphase flow unsteady-state model suitable for pipeline commissioning based on the BN multiphase flow model. This model includes equations for heat exchange with the external environment that were not considered in the original model, introduces corresponding terms, and simplifies the model into a set of equations that are more conducive to solving, providing a solid foundation for subsequent numerical solutions and establishing a multiphase flow model for pipeline commissioning that conforms to the physical process.
