An Optimisation Framework to Reduce the Risk of Hydrate Blockages in Flowlines
This dissertation explores the possibility that Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) may be used in conjunction with common meta-heuristic optimisation techniques as a tool to assess the risk of hydrate blockage during restart operations in gas-dominated flowlines featuring accumulated water zones, wi...
