Evaluation and Optimisation of De-Icing System for Railway Points using CFD
In its continuing drive to improve operational reliability during occasional spells of extremely cold weather, Network Rail is evaluating a range of measures to deal with the problem of frozen points, which can occur when snow becomes compacted an...
Improving Manufacturing by Simulation: Processes, Microstructure & Tooling
This presentation, made at the inaugural Virtual Engineering Centre Workshop on 25-26th October 2011, provides an overview of the application of simulation to optimise manufacturing processes and determine mechanical properties that can affect in-...
Analysis of Closure Dynamics of Large Bore High Pressure Deepwater Gate Valves using CFD
This presentation, delivered at the Technology in the Subsea Energy Industry Seminar by Wilde’s Dr. Simon Leefe , Technical Director, and Chris Williamson , Director of Product Development at BEL Valves, demonstrated the closure dynamics of large ...
Pressure - Flow Assessment of a Subsea Stab Connector
Moffat 2000 designs and manufactures subsea pipeline products including stab connectors for flushing or pig-driving operations. Wilde was asked to characterise the pressure-flow relation of various sizes and orientations.
Design Assurance for New Seawater Filtration Unit Design using CFD
amafiltergroup manufactures large first-stage seawater filtration units for various duties on offshore platforms. To handle increased flow rates for new installations, Wilde was asked to evaluate two variants of a proposed design.
Modelling the Infra-Red Pre-Heating Stage of a Coating Curing Process.
Glasscoat International required a detailed understanding of the conjugate heat transfer processes which take place during their cold curing process. Wilde provided bespoke training and a modelling methodology to enable them to implement CFD and ...
Development of Subsea Gas / Liquid Separator Design Methodology for Total E&P
Mathematical modelling and CFD simulation were used alongside a scale model test programme to support separator design decisions and to develop a methodology for the design of a full-scale unit in a deep water development in Gulf of Guinea - the f...
Flow Characterisation of a Water Injection Valve
Red Spider Technology supplies the oil and gas industry with a range of down-hole products including seawater injection valves. In an initial study, Wilde established an efficient valve characterisation methodology subsequently used to characteris...
