This document discusses restart simulations using the CSMFlow model and outlines some challenges. It describes the initial and restart conditions, and proposes assuming the liquid travels at a constant velocity to determine intermediate velocities, though notes this assumption may not be valid and other approaches could better represent restarts. It concludes by asking if this wavefront propagation approach is appropriate, if there is a better method, and what other factors should be considered for restart simulations.

CSMFlow Govind Hegde September 3 rd , 2014 2 Restart/Shut-in Simulations Plan The ultimate goal is to simulate steady state simulations, followed by a shut-in, followed by a restart and then attain steady state production again. We are starting off with the simplest case of a restart case Currently facing some problems designing the simulations using the Hydrodynamic Slug Flow model.
3 Restart Simulations Previous simulations: We have an initial U SG(initial) , U SL(initial) at the inlet of the flowline U M = U SG(initial) + U SL(initial) throughout the simulations U SG , U SL change during simulation, but U M is constant throughout Hence, since gas-liquid slip U S (H L ) depends only on the U M , it is a constant function of H L
4 Restart Simulations Restart quiescent system with U M = 3 m/s, U SL = 2 m/s
At time t = 0, fluids in all cells have zero velocity U S (H L ) = 0
Time = 0 (Initial Conditions) x = 1 x = 2 x = 3 x = i x = n-2 x = n-1 x = n x = 0 U M = 0 U SL = 0 U M = 0 U SL = 0 U M = 0 U SL = 0 U M = 0 U SL = 0 U M = 0 U SL = 0 U M = 0 U SL = 0 U M = 0 U SL = 0 5 Restart Simulations When we begin the restart simulation, the first cell has U M = source U M How do we determine the U M of the intermediate cells in order to calculate slip velocity? In other words, how does the fluid entering the first cell travel along the flowline First timestep (dt=1s), Time = 1s x = 1 x = 2 x = 3 x = i x = n-2 x = n-1 x = n x = 0 U M = 3 U SL = 2 U M = ? U SL = ? U M = ? U SL = ? U M = ? U SL = ? U M = 0 U SL = 0 U M = 0 U SL = 0 U M = 0 U SL = 0 Restart quiescent system with U M = 3 m/s, U SL = 2 m/s 6 Restart Simulations: Possible Solution Is it fine to assume that the liquid travels with constant velocity U SL = 2
(or U M = 3?), such that the liquid travels along the line with that velocity like a wave front, and hence updating the cell to U M = 3? According to this, if the front is assumed to propagate at liquid superficial velocity, the third and fourth cells will have U M = 3 in the 2 nd time step. Timestep = t, dt = 1 s x = 1 x = 2 x = 3 x = i x = n-2 x = n-1 x = n x = 0 U M = 3 U M = ? U M = ? U M = ? U M = 0 U M = 0 U M = 0 7 Restart Simulations: Questions Is it fine to assume a constant propagation of wave front as in the previous slide? If not, is there a better way of doing this in order to represent the restart case in a better way? What other considerations do we have to keep in mind while simulating restart cases (since we do not consider pressure and temperature effect on flow) ?
