Production - Multiphase Separator

 
Volume fraction of gas
Volume fraction of oil
Volume fraction of water

This three-phase (liquid-gas-liquid) flow analysis of a separator characterizes pressure, velocity, and phase concentrations, and determines separator performance. Separation efficiency can be improved by using CFD to study alternate positions and dimensions of the inlet, outlet, and baffles.
