CFD Simulation Assists NATCO with Offshore Floating Separator DesignBy Chang-Ming Lee, Ph.D.Kenneth Warren, Ph.D. Ted Frankiewicz, Ph.D. Wave Motion Validation (Six-Degree of Movement) “3D Box Testing” Design of Internal Baffles (Wave Motion Suppression) “FWKO Separator” Oil-Gas Interface inside The Separator (Case #8) Time = 66.0 sec Animation of Oil-Gas Interface (Case #8) Contour Plot of Velocity Magnitude (Case #7) 23.70 sec Contour Plot of Turbulent Kinetic Energy (Case #7) 23.70 sec Velocity Vectors Colored by Velocity Magnitude (Case #4) Time = 21.0 sec Velocity Vectors Colored by Velocity Magnitude (Case #4) Time = 27.0 sec Consideration of Sea State (“Normal” vs. “Storm”) - Due to the variation of “Center of Rotation”, the sloshing magnitudes inside the separator vessel were not much different for 1-year or 10-year storm sea state. Mitigation of Wave Motion (“Empty” vs. “Porous”) - The added internal baffles can very effectively suppress the liquid sloshing inside the vessel due to wave motion. Comparison of Internals (“PMax” vs. “PerPlate”) - Replacing “Performax” section with perforated plates has illustrated a positive effect on suppressing wave motion based on the decreasing of drag coefficient on vessel wall. 3-D CFD Simulation Summary Comparison of Liquid Sloshing (“Storm” Sea State) 26.60 sec 2D Contour Plots of Oil Volume Fraction 26.60 sec Comparison of Drag Coefficients (“Storm” Sea State) Comparison of Drag Coefficients (Case #5 #6) 3-D CFD Simulation Summary (cont.) Effect of Addition of “Horizontal Baffle” - Adding a horizontal perforated plates at the vessel tail (oil well section) did not show any apparent benefit. Effect of “Flows” into the Vessel - There is no adverse result was observed with both Gas and Oil flow into the vessel for simulation time up to 85.60 sec. Consideration of “Roll” Motion - According to the 3-D animated plots of interface
