Analysis of the role of the isolation ball in the process of pushing the water from the oil pipeline with complex terrain

To explore the influence of the isolation ball in a crude oil pipeline running over complex terrain, a “U” undulating crude oil pipeline with a large drop was taken as a practical case (the maximum elevation difference was 1490 m). Based on the OLGA multiphase flow transient simulation method, this...
