Abstract:
      With consideration of interphase virtual mass force,viscous shearing force,narrow interphase momentum exchange,interphae resistance,a mathematical model for predicting the propagation velocity of pressure wave in two-phase flow of acid gas and drilling fluid was proposed based on the two-fluid model and equation of state for acid gas and drilling fluid.The p mathematical model was solved by using the small perturbation theory,and a model concerning wave number K was derived to calculate the wave velocity.Calculation results indicate that the influence of virtual mass force becomes more prominent with the increase of angular frequency and void fraction within a certain range.At high void fraction,the influence of virtual mass force appears a weakening trend with the increase of pressure.Both the increase of density and incompressibility of two-phase fluid contribute to the increase of pressure wave velocity.It is the prolongation of gas-liquid exchange time and decrease of fluctuation frequency that supply sufficient time for momentum exchange,and slow down the pressure wave velocity accordingly.
