Performance evaluation of a multi-branch gas–liquid pipe separator using computational fluid dynamics

Abstract The present paper aims to evaluate the performance of a multi-branch gas–liquid pipe separator by means of 3D computational fluid dynamics. This type of separator is attractive for deepwater subsea hydrocarbon fields due to its compactness and reduced weight when compared against traditiona...
