Applications of CFD in Natural Gas Processing and Transportation

In this chapter, two examples of CFD applications in natural gas processing and transportation are presented. A commercial software package (Fluent) was used in these studies. The purpose of the studies is brie fly discussed, the methodology outlined and boundary conditions and problem specifications are concisely described for each case. The results of investigation s and comparisons with experimental tests and literature data are presented to demonstrate how CFD can be applied to practical situations.
