We are happy to announce the latest commercial release (2.10) of LedaFlow Engineering.
What is new?
- A new model for phase change, which is based on the conservation of enthalpy in each zone (continuous gas + liquid droplets, or continuous liquid with gas bubbes) has been implemented for single component systems. It enables faster phase change and better numerical stability which is critical for CO2 simulations.
- A new API, based on the gRPC framework, can be used to connect LedaFlow to CMG’s reservoir simulator GEM, making it possible to simulate the transport, injection and long-term storage of CO2 in reservoirs.
- The calculation speed for slug capturing cases using the new solver has been improved. Particularly, thanks to improvements in the parallelization, it is now possible to use 8 or more CPU cores (previous recommendations were limited to 4).
- PVTsim Nova from Calsep is now supported for use in composition tracking.
- The User-Defined Functions can now be used to integrate solid (e.g. wax, asphaltenes, etc.) deposition models.
- Several improvements have been made for pigging simulations, e.g. a new input, the wax removal efficiency, is now available to specify the mass fraction of wax scraped off the pipe wall; new outputs have also been introduced, the accumulated mass of wax removed by the pig and the flow rates through the bypass.
Where can LedaFlow 2.10 be downloaded?
