| The world economy is
heavily dependent on oil and gas. With reducing supplies there is
increasing pressure on extracting more from current and smaller
fields. Also upgrading of oil sands, oil shale, coal and other lower
grade hydrocarbons to synthetic crude oil and syngas is becoming
increasing viable. Be it flows of oil-water-sand in pipeline,
Fischer-Tropsch conversion or refining of FCC refining multiphase
flows and reactions are common place and vital for improving
existing and developing new oil and gas processes. CFD has the
capability to incorporate reactions and complex multiphase flow and
thus lead to better understanding and improvements in this field.
Contributions from authors are invited on, but not limited to, the
following topics for inclusion in the mini-symposium:
- FCC reactors,
- Fluid Cokers,
- Refining processes,
- Fischer-Tropsch reactors,
- Hydro-cyclones, scrubbers and other separation
technologies,
- Multiphase Pipeline flows,
- Subsea systems, and
- Offshore structures.
