LedaFlow Slug Capturing®

LedaFlow Slug Capturing® is an application which is dedicated to the analysis of hydrodynamic slugging.

Hydrodynamic slug modelling

LedaFlow Slug Capturing® is the first commercially available solution to accurately predict hydrodynamic slug behavior without user input. It captures the initiation and growth of waves and hydrodynamic slugs using higher-order numerical methods. The analysis of slugs is facilitated by slug statistics and slug size tools.

In the slug capturing method, the transition from stratified to wavy or slug flow is automatically represented, by resolving the dynamics of wave instabilities using a very fine grid. As a consequence, the method can be used to get more detailed insight than what is possible with the standard unit-cell model, which is based on spatial averaging and a coarse grid.

LedaFlow: Riser Fatigue estimation using Slug Capturing 2

Watch the on-demand webinar presented by the experts Neeraj Zambare and Rune Haakonsen and learn more about:

• Workflow of performing LedaFlow Slug Capturing 2 simulation

• Extraction and post-processing of simulation output data – which can be readily used for riser fatigue calculations in software such as OrcaFlex

• How the output from LedaFlow is actually used to calculate global response

• Resulting local stresses in flexible risers to estimate fatigue contribution from slug flow over the life of risers

• How this workflow becomes the most accepted way of doing this analysis as awareness is increasing around the large effect of slugging on riser fatigue

Slug Capturing 2 is the result of a large effort by the LedaFlow partners to make the unique Slug Capturing functionality in LedaFlow much faster and more accurate. This new technology was released with LedaFlow Engineering 1D v2.7 and a special version of LedaFlow called LedaFlow Slug Capturing 2 which is available on a Pay Per Day (PPD) and lease basis.

LedaFlow - Slug Capturing 2 technical webinar by SINTEF

Kongsberg Digital has the pleasure of inviting you to the Webinar featuring Sintef ” LedaFlow Slug Capturing 2″ presented by Jørn Kjølaas.

Slug Capturing 2 is the result of a large effort by the LedaFlow partners to make the unique Slug Capturing functionality in LedaFlow much faster and more accurate. This new technology was released with LedaFlow Engineering 1D v2.7 and a special version of LedaFlow called LedaFlow Slug Capturing 2 which is available on a Pay Per Day (PPD) and lease basis.

In his presentation, Jørn Kjølaas from SINTEF will explain when Slug Capturing 2 should be used and how this differs from the standard model and the previous version of Slug Capturing. Modelling recommendations will also be provided to ensure that you get the best results from Slug Capturing 2.
