Project case / Customer-independent

Hydraulic-reservoir flow-path comparison

Two reservoir geometries were structured as a steady internal-flow study of short-circuit paths, mixing regions and residence behaviour relevant to deaeration.

Engineering question

Return and suction paths had to limit undesirable short-circuiting and make functional use of the available reservoir volume.

Model & approach

  • Compare existing and revised reservoir geometry under the same port conditions
  • Define streamlines, mixing regions and qualitative residence paths as assessment criteria

Boundary conditions

  • Steady single-phase liquid flow
  • Project-specific port, filter and bypass states within the confidential model boundary

Results of the assessment

  • The archive evidences geometry, operating logic and the intended comparison criteria.
  • No final result report or cleared design selection was present.

Engineering consequence

The model was intended as a consistent basis for reservoir-flow and geometry decisions; no final selection is claimed publicly.

Context

The reviewed archive evidences the task and model scope but contains no final result report. No performance or implementation claim is therefore published.
