non-Isothermal

one-dimensional hydrodynamic

steady-state model was

two-phase

developed to describe the formation and flow dynamics of gas condensate in horizontal natural gas pipelines. The two major constituents of the model, hydrodynamics and phase behaviour, are coupled through the phasegeneration/disappearance-related terms in the continuity and momentum equations. The resulting model equations were numerically solved using semi-implicit Runge-Kutta method combined with step-size adjustment strategy together with java application software. In this report CFD software would be used to model the parametric variables and the results obtained would be superimposed on the Java software result. It was demonstrated by Olafedehan O.A. 2009 that the model is capable of predicting the amount, quantity and distribution of condensate in pipelines to other sought engineering variable. Therefore, CFD would be used to compare and investigate. Contribution to theory or practice: Using CFD technique to Investigate and predict the hydrodynamic behaviour of two-phase gas/gas condensate and comparison with existing results. Methodology and/or plan: 1. Theoretical model 2. Computational Fluid Dynamic study of the parametric variables development of the mathematical

3. Compare of CFD results against alternative using similar conditions. 4. Interpretation of results. Project description:

1. Survey of techniques in the design of pipelines 2. Mathematical Model 3. Method of Numerical Solution 4. Simulation results 5. Comparison and interpretation 6. Conclusion and significance
