چکیده انگلیسی
The throttle valve designed for managed pressure drilling (MPD) is a core equipment of MPD technology. Due to the direct contact with drilling fluid at well site, the throttle valve's internal flow passage will be eroded and worn by the drilling fluid with high mobility, which would negatively affect the working performance and service life of the throttle valve. Therefore, based on the working principle and geometric structure of throttle valve, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique is used to establish the three-dimensional fluid numerical model, and the renormalization group k-epsilon (RNG k-ε) model is selected for the turbulence model of liquid-solid two-phase flow in throttle valve of MPD. At the same time, the fluid flow in the wall region is solved by wall function which allows the physical quantity near the wall surface to connect with it in the core turbulence region. In addition, the discrete phase model (DPM) model is selected for the discrete phase model, and the Ahlert erosion model is selected for the erosion model. The finite volume method is used in discrete calculation, and the SIMPLE algorithm is applied in continuity equation, momentum equation, energy equation and turbulent kinetic energy equation when solving the control. The influences of drilling parameters (such as throttle valve opening, drilling fluid flow rate, drilling fluid density, mass flow rate of solid particle) on the erosion characteristics of throttle valve of managed pressure drilling are studied by CFD. The results show that the erosion of the solid particles on the wall of MPD throttle valve mainly occurs at the end of the valve spool. Meanwhile, the drilling fluid flow rate has the greatest impact on the erosion rate of solid particles, which is followed by the solid mass flow. Compared with the above two, the erosion rate of solid particles is less influenced by the throttle pressure difference between inlet and outlet which is caused by the change of throttle opening and drilling fluid density. In addition, the simulation result reaches a good agreement with the laboratory data of throttle valve erosion experiment. This study could give several advices for relevant throttle valve investigation work and operators who attempts to decrease the erosion in valves.
