Experimental Study and Numerical Simulation of Pressure Effect on Anti-foaming Ability of Foam Breaking Device

Abstract:

Foaming breaking is very important for environmental protection and economic development in foam drilling, but current foam breaking device cannot meet the requirements. Further study was made by establish the indoor test platform for foam breaking device, the relation between pressure and foam breaking rate was determined; numerical simulation was made on floating pressure change in foam breaking device by VOF model of FLUENT software, and the result was the same to the experiment.
