How to Mix Different Fluids in System Modeler

Posted 11 months ago

I am trying to mix 2 different fluids in a system. Gas should be injected through a valve into another pipe that contains oil, and the result will have a mixture of oil and gas, just like this image:

enter image description here

However, System modeler keeps giving me errors. How do I do this?

Thank you for the reply. I think this is a good start, but I am still facing some difficulty with the flow. Specifically, I am trying to simulate an oil well like this one:

enter image description here

I need to manually control the injection of the gas through the gas choke valve, when goes down the annulus and through the injection valve. Then it mixes with the oil from the well and is lifted upwards. In my simulation, the flow doesn't seem to be logical. Any ideas?

One way to solve this problem might be to break it into injection gas and fluid sub-circuits. Then add a logic to represent their interaction. Perhaps something like the following diagram: enter image description here
