The strain concentration results from the discontinuity of the concrete coating which is applied to pipe joints to enhance the pipeline stability on the seabed. The paper introduces a definition of the strain concentration factor and a conclusive explanation of the work performed to calculate the strain concentration factor using the following three methods: full-scale tests, analytical models, and numerical models. The paper also introduces other works addressing the contribution of concrete coating to pipe stiffness. Literature indicates that while full-scale tests produce the most accurate values for the strain concentration factor, due to cost implications, the method is limited to a small range of pipe sizes and coating properties. Although the analytical method produces acceptable results, prediction of strain concentration factor due to concrete coating sliding and beyond steel yield stress and concrete crushing limit is unpredictable. The numerical method using FE (finite element) analysis indicates acceptable strain concentration factor values, however, careful consideration shall be taken due to possible modelling inaccuracies. The review shows that the strain concentration factor is mainly influenced by the thickness and strength of the concrete coating as well as the shear capacity of the external corrosion coating, whilst due to its low impact, the effect of the concrete coating reinforcement is not considered for most of the analysis due to low significance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100824,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pipeline Science and Engineering","volume":"4 3","pages":"Article 100196"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667143324000234/pdfft?md5=47d0e0a2ec22921a9bb265ae2d1c55ff&pid=1-s2.0-S2667143324000234-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140787693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the no-stratified scenario, the mixing distance increases at lower hydrogen mixing ratio and larger diameter of the hydrogen injection pipe or the main pipe.

Since early 1950, several empirical correlations and mechanistic models have been developed to predict pressure drop. All correlations used by the industry, in addition to their applicability limitations, fall short of providing the necessary precision of pressure drop predictions. However, compared to empirical correlations, the recently developed mechanistic models improved pressure drop prediction. To design and construct more dependable and economical surface piping networks and wells, it is still necessary to improve prediction accuracy. This study uses the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) to create a model that predicts pressure drop in horizontal and near-horizontal pipelines with greater accuracy and simplicity. Using the ANFIS method, the fuzzy modelling procedure can gather knowledge about a set of data to determine the membership function parameters that will enable the associated fuzzy inference system to track input/output data most effectively. The model was created and tested using field data encompassing various variables. The model was developed using 450 different data sets that were collected from the Asian continent. 113 data sets were used for testing, and a total of 337 data sets were used for training. Trend analysis was carried out during the model development phase prior to the model’s completion. This is performed to make sure the model is stable and to make sure the created model is physically sound and accurately simulates the real physical process. To determine the percentage of error between the predicted value and the actual measured data, statistical analysis was carried out. To compare the performance of the new ANFIS model to earlier empirical correlations and mechanistic models, graphical and statistical techniques were also used. The new model outperformed known correlations and the most recent mechanistic models by a significant margin in producing incredibly accurate pressure drop predictions. The Dukler et al. empirical correlation, Beggs and Brill empirical correlation, Xiao mechanistic model, and Gomez mechanistic model had values of 25.284, 20.940, 30.122, and 20.817, respectively, while the ANFIS model had a value of 13.256 for the lowest average absolute percentage error.

This paper proposes a finite volume model (FVM) based on an implicit flux limiter-Riemann solver (CLAWPACK) to estimate deposit thickness in oil and water pipelines. The novelty of the proposed method is that a snapshot of transient pressures along the pipeline only at a particular time instant (end of simulation) is considered in contrast to the widely used pressure time series for comparison between computed and measured pressures to detect changes in internal diameter and wall friction. The Newton-Raphson Method is used to iteratively estimate the deposition thickness to produce an equivalent response obtained from the pressure measurements of the physical pipeline system. The proposed methodology is applied to three operating crude oil pipelines and the maximum error found between computed and measured pressures and deposit thicknesses are 0.035% and 5 mm respectively.
