Water-lubricated oil flows in a Couette Apparatus

Self-lubricating flow of bitumen froth occurs when water droplets dispersed in the viscous oil phase form a lubricating layer surrounding a bitumen-rich core in a commercial pipeline operated by Syncrude Canada Ltd. In this study, self-lubricating flow was modelled experimentally by shearing water-i...
