Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Oil and natural gas continue to dominate the current energy landscape, yet their utilization is accompanied by significant risks that cannot be overlooked. Oil and gas storage and transportation encompass various stages, including the production and processing of oil and gas, long-distance pipeline transportation, storage, and urban oil and gas distribution. This presents new challenges in the realm of oil storage and transportation. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to showcase novel ideas and experimental results in the field of oil and gas production, storage, and transportation technology.

This Special Issue aims to feature high-quality, original research papers that span various overlapping fields, including oil and gas production management, oil and gas metering, petroleum multiphase flow, LNG, flow assurance, natural gas hydrate, simulation and optimization of natural gas pipeline networks, and storage and transportation of new media, such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen energy. Additionally, topics such as distributed energy, oil and gas pipeline reliability, oil and gas pipeline supply chain resilience, and the energy internet are also within the scope of this Special Issue.

The supersonic swirling device is a new apparatus that can be used for natural-gas liquefaction. The structure of the supersonic swirling device has an important impact on the liquefaction efficiency. Therefore, this study presents a structural design method for supersonic cyclones based on CFD theory. Using the production parameters of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) peak-shaving station as the study case, a detailed design and design comparison of each part of the supersonic swirling separator are carried out. An optimum LNG supersonic swirling separator design was obtained. To ensure that the designed supersonic swirling separator achieved better liquefaction effectiveness, it was ascertained that no large shockwaves were generated in the de Laval nozzle, the pressure loss on the swirler was small, and the swirler was able to produce a large centripetal acceleration. The opening angle of the diffuser and the length of the straight tube were designed considering the location at which normal shockwaves were generated. The location at which shockwaves are generated and the friction effect are important parameters that determine the gap size. With this design guidance, the optimal structural dimensions of the supersonic swirling device for a given processing capacity were determined as follows: a swirler with six vanes and an 8 mm wide channel; a 10D-long straight tube, an opening angle of 20° between the straight tube and the divergent section, and a gap size of 2 mm. Compared with “Twister II”, the new device has better liquefaction efficiency. Full article
