Design for Complex Flow in Pipelines (WEBINAR)
Credit: 4 PDH
Subject Matter Expert: William Thomas, PhD, P.E.
Type: Live Interactive Webinar
In Design for Complex Flow in Pipelines , you'll learn ...
- How to design piping for complex flow conditions and the resulting loads.
- Learn about vortex induced vibration, flow induced vibration, slug flow, Joule Thomson cooling, thermal management and terrain slugging.
Overview
This course will focus on design for complex flow conditions and the resulting loads that occur. This course goes beyond just basic piping design requirements such as design temperature and pressure in single lines, branched lines, welded and flanged connections. Furthermore, the course will look beyond basic piping loads such as self-weight and other basic environmental loads such as wind, currents and earthquakes. Those conditions may not be the complete list of loadings that occur in the field.
Instead, this course will deliver key knowledge and tools to mitigate advanced loading conditions which occur during high speed external and internal flows. External flows may cause instable vortex induced vibration loads. In addition, internal fluid may not be just simple single-phase fluids but rather multiphase fluids which caused additional loading scenarios to be addressed. Multiphase flow may become unstable and cause slugging and impact loads.
The course will also provide methods and knowledge to design piping to maintain thermal conditions of the fluid. Additionally, we will address flashing and sudden temperature drop after flow though valves and chokes (Joule Thomson cooling). Finally, the course will use numerical piping design software (digital twin) to explore when such loading conditions occur and how to operate to avoid those conditions.
