Based on the optimization of raw materials, a cheap, environment-friendly biodiesel of soybean oil ethyl ester with good fluidity at low temperature was selected as the base oil. By selecting high oil-water ratio and introducing cationic surfactant into the auxiliary emulsifier, the thickening of biodiesel-based emulsion caused by hydrolysis and saponification after high-temperature aging was effectively eliminated. The organoclay prepared with cationic modifier of hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride was used to improve the rheologic properties, stability and fluid loss of the drilling fluid while preventing low-temperature thickening. A flat-rheology modifier was synthesized with dimer fatty acid and cocoanut fatty acid diethanolamide, which could form strong network structure in the biodiesel-based drilling fluid to adjust effectively rheological properties of the drilling fluid. A biodiesel-based flat-rheology drilling fluid system with the density of 1.2 g/cm^(3) has been formulated which has constant rheology in the temperature range of 2-90 ℃, temperature tolerance of 160 ℃, seawater salinity tolerance of 5%, shale cuttings tolerance of 10%, and is environmentally friendly.展开更多

Moreover, the effect of different agents on hydrate formation and the low-temperature rheology of designed polyalcohol drilling fluid were tested, respectively. The results show that clay can promote gas hydrate growth, while modified starch and polyalcohol can inhibit hydrate formation to some extent, and PVP K90 has a good performance on hydrate inhibition. The influence of clay on low-temperature rheology of polyglycols drilling fluid is notable. Therefore, the clay-free polyalcohol drilling fluid is suitable for deep water and marine gas hydrate drilling under optimal conditions.展开更多

Rheology of typical emulsifiers was studied by automatic rheometer. Relations between rheology and structural properties of typical emulsifiers were analyzed. Experimental results show that viscosity of emulsifiers didn＇ t change with shear rate at room temperature and appeared properties of Newtonian fluid. Viscosity of different component emulsifiers declines with temperature in different modes. The change of strain doesn＇ t affect modu- lus of emulsifiers. Loss modulus increases linearly with the increase of frequency in oscillation and storage modulus does non-linearly. The higher the temperature is, the lower change amplitude of loss modulus with frequency will be. The emulsifiers with imide and amide functionality for emulsion explosives have better shear properties at high temperature and better shapingness and stability at room temperature than other emulsifiers with ester and Sorbin Monoleate （SMO） functionality.展开更多

Firstly, we built a database about the strain rate versus the differential stress through collecting the data from salt creep experiments at a range of temperatures（20–200 ℃） in laboratories. The aim is to collect data about salt deformation in nature, and the flow properties can be extracted from the data in laboratory experiments.Moreover, as an important preparation for salt tectonics modeling, a numerical model based on creep experiments of rock salt was developed in order to verify the specific model using the Abaqus package. Finally, under the condition of low differential stresses, the deformation mechanism would be extrapolated and discussed according to microstructure research. Since the studies of salt deformation in nature are the reliable extrapolation of laboratory data, we simplified the rock salt rheology to dislocation creep corresponding to power law creep（n = 5） with the appropriate material parameters in the salt tectonic modeling.展开更多

The multiple definitions of fractional derivatives in fractional calculus have hindered the application of fractional calculus in rheology. In this paper, we clarify that the R-L definition and Caputo definition are both rheologically imperfect with the help of mechanical analogues of the fractional element model （Scott-Blair model）. We also clarify that to make them perfect rheologically, the lower terminals of both definitions should be put to ∞. We further prove that the R-L definition with lower terminal a →∞ and the Caputo definition with lower terminal a →∞ are equivalent in the differentiation of functions that are smooth enough and functions that have finite number of singular points. Thus we can define the fractional derivatives in rheology as the R-L derivatives with lower terminal a →∞ （or, equivalently, the Caputo derivatives with lower terminal a →∞） not only for steady-state processes, but also for transient processes. Based on the above definition, the problems of composition rules of fractional operators and the initial conditions for fractional differential equations are discussed, respectively. As an example we study a fractional oscillator with Scott-Blair model and give an exact solution of this equation under given initial conditions.展开更多

文摘Metallic glasses(MGs)exhibit exceptional mechanical properties,but their application is often limited by brittleness.At elevated temperatures near the glass transition(T_(g)),they undergo homogeneous viscoplastic deformation,a regime commonly described using free volume(FV)theory.Despite its prevalence,the quantitative accuracy and applicability of FV models,particularly for transient behaviors,remain under investigation.This study examines the homogeneous rheology of a LaCeYNiAl high-entropy MG(HEMG)between 475 K and 490 K,and critically assesses the relevance of two prominent FV model formulations.Experimental characterization includes dynamic mechanical analysis and uniaxial tensile tests across various strain rates.The tensile data are subsequently analyzed using two elasto-viscoplastic constitutive frameworks incorporating distinct FV evolution kinetics:Spaepen's original formulation(model 1),and the bimolecular annihilation kinetics proposed by Van den Beukel/Sietsma(model 2).Our analysis reveals that model 1,when applied to steady-state flow,yields physically inconsistent negative parameters,calling its validity for homogeneous deformation into question.Model 2 demonstrates better qualitative agreement with the experimental stress–strain curves but still fails to accurately reproduce the stress overshoot features.Moreover,fitting model 2 requires unphysically low Young's modulus values and produces unusual negative apparent activation energies for key kinetic parameters,suggesting limitations in the model structure(e.g.,neglecting explicit viscoelasticity)or possibly unique behavior in HEMGs.These findings highlight significant shortcomings of standard FV models in quantitatively capturing the homogeneous deformation of this HEMG,particularly its transient characteristics,and underscore the need for more refined constitutive descriptions.

文摘As the base oil of the current flat-rheology synthetic drilling fluid is high in cost and not renewable, the biodiesel-based flat-rheology drilling fluid with low-cost, environmental protection and renewable advantage was studied. Based on the optimization of raw materials, a cheap, environment-friendly biodiesel of soybean oil ethyl ester with good fluidity at low temperature was selected as the base oil. By selecting high oil-water ratio and introducing cationic surfactant into the auxiliary emulsifier, the thickening of biodiesel-based emulsion caused by hydrolysis and saponification after high-temperature aging was effectively eliminated. The organoclay prepared with cationic modifier of hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride was used to improve the rheologic properties, stability and fluid loss of the drilling fluid while preventing low-temperature thickening. A flat-rheology modifier was synthesized with dimer fatty acid and cocoanut fatty acid diethanolamide, which could form strong network structure in the biodiesel-based drilling fluid to adjust effectively rheological properties of the drilling fluid. A biodiesel-based flat-rheology drilling fluid system with the density of 1.2 g/cm^(3) has been formulated which has constant rheology in the temperature range of 2-90 ℃, temperature tolerance of 160 ℃, seawater salinity tolerance of 5%, shale cuttings tolerance of 10%, and is environmentally friendly.

文摘Flow assurance is one of the core issues in safe and economical operation of waxy crude pipelines.Its essence lies in flow and heat transfer of the crude.In the past 10 years,the authors＇ team has achieved a lot of innovative results in aspects of waxy crude rheology,flow assurance assessment,and pipelining technologies on the basis of decades of studies.The rheological characteristics of waxy crude are much better understood,and a method for quantitatively simulating the effect of flow shear was developed based on some theoretical breakthroughs.Studies of the mechanism of waxy crude rheology have been deepened to the quantitative level.After successful development of efficient numericalalgorithms,accurate simulations have been achieved for various complex flow and heat transfer situations in waxy crude pipelining,and a reliability-based approach to flow assurance assessment has been set up.New pipelining technologies have been developed such as batching pour-point depressant-（PPD-） treated multiple-waxy-crudes,intermittent transport of waxy crudes through long-distance pipelines,and batching hot and cold crudes.By their application,a series of problems hindering safe,efficient and flexible operation of waxy crude pipelines were tackled,demonstrating that transportation technologies for waxy crude have advanced to a new and high level.

文摘Soft and medium-hard rocks are subjected to high rheology under high stress,and they are prone to a relatively large-degree of deformation when perturbed by external impacting loads.The phenomenon where rock deformation is developed due to external impacting perturbation in the rheological state is defined as the rock rheological perturbation effect.This work presents a new experimental system for investigating the rock rheological perturbation effect with experiments on medium-hard red sandstone.Results from our analysis show that red sandstone changes under two mechanical mechanisms:deformation-hardening effects at low stress states,and damage-fracture effects at high stress states when impacted by certain external impacting loads.Red sandstone tested in our experiments has a strain threshold of about 90% of the ultimate strain under the perturbation effect;the red sandstone is sensitive to a perturbed load when its actual strain exceeds the threshold.The perturbed deformation process of the rock can be divided into three phases:decline,approximately constant speed and acceleration.The rock will be rapidly destroyed when the perturbed deformation accumulates to a certain degree.The perturbation effect of rock deformation under uniaxial compression is more obvious than that under axial compression.Based on our experiment,a constitutive relation of the rock rheological perturbation effect is developed.

文摘In order to study the rheological properties of red stone granular soil,a series of rheological experiments were executed on large tri-axial rheological apparatus.Under 100,200 and 300 kPa confining stress conditions,the rheological tests were carried out.These experiment results showed that the stress conditions,especially the stress level were the critical influencing factors of the rheological deformation properties.Under the low stress level(S=0.1),the granular soil showed the elastic properties,and there was no obvious rheological deformation.Under the middle stress level(0.2<S≤0.6),creep curves showed the linear viscoelastic rheological properties.However,under the high stress level(S>0.8) creep curves showed the non-linear viscous plastic rheological properties.Especially,under the stress level of S=1.0,the accelerated rheological phase of creep curves occurred at early time with a trend of failure.The stress level had obvious effects on the final rheological deformation of the soil sample,and the final rheological deformation increments nonlinearly increased with stress level.The final rheological deformation increment and step was little under low stress level,while it became large under high stress level,which showed the nonlinearly rheological properties of the granular soil.The confining pressure also had direct effects on final rheological deformation,and the final rheological deformation linearly increased with confining pressure increments.

文摘In order to ensure safe drilling in deep water and marine gas hydrate bearing sediments, the needed characteristics of drilling fluid system were analyzed. Moreover, the effect of different agents on hydrate formation and the low-temperature rheology of designed polyalcohol drilling fluid were tested, respectively. The results show that clay can promote gas hydrate growth, while modified starch and polyalcohol can inhibit hydrate formation to some extent, and PVP K90 has a good performance on hydrate inhibition. The influence of clay on low-temperature rheology of polyglycols drilling fluid is notable. Therefore, the clay-free polyalcohol drilling fluid is suitable for deep water and marine gas hydrate drilling under optimal conditions.

文摘The distribution and amount of ground ice on Mars is an important issue to be addressed for the future exploration of the planet.The occurrence of interstitial ice in Martian frozen ground is indicated by landforms,such as fluidized ejecta craters,softened terrain,and fretted channels.How-ever,experimental data on the rheology of ice-rock mixture under Martian physical conditions are sparse,and the amount of ground ice that is required to produce the viscous deformation observed in Martian ice-related landforms is still unknown.In our study,we put forward a three-dimensional non-Newtonian viscous finite element model to investigate the behavior of ice-rock mixtures numeri-cally.The randomly distributed tetrahedral elements are generated in regular domain to represent the natural distribution of ice-rock materials.Numerical simulation results show that when the volume of rock is less than 40%,the rheology of the mixture is dominated by ice,and there is occurrence of a brittle-ductile transition when ice fraction reaches a certain value.Our preliminary results contribute to the knowledge of the determination of the rheology and ice content in Martian ice-rock mixture.The presented model can also be utilized to evaluate the amount of ground ice on Mars.
文摘Waxy crude oil exhibits complex shear-and-thermal-history-dependent non-Newtonian behaviors.In the past 10 years,driven by the petroleum industry,crude oil rheology has been an active field.Studies on crude oil rheology have been passing a way from simply relying on rheological measurements,through quantitative experimental simulation of shear and thermal history effects in pipelining,to recent development of correlation between flow properties and shear and thermal history.Currently,the study is toward quantitative inquiry of relations between the rheological behaviors and micro-structures of wax crystals as well as oil compositions.Advances achieved by the author' team are summarized,including simulation of the thermal and shear history effects,correlations and computation of flow properties,fractal characterization of morphology and structure of wax crystals,relations of rheological behaviors to fractal dimension and oil compositions,and the most successful example of the application of rheology in crude oil pipelining.Future studies are prospected.

文摘Structure of emulsifiers or functionality and molecular weight determines its rheology, emulsification and stability of emulsion explosives. Rheology of typical emulsifiers was studied by automatic rheometer. Relations between rheology and structural properties of typical emulsifiers were analyzed. Experimental results show that viscosity of emulsifiers didn＇ t change with shear rate at room temperature and appeared properties of Newtonian fluid. Viscosity of different component emulsifiers declines with temperature in different modes. The change of strain doesn＇ t affect modu- lus of emulsifiers. Loss modulus increases linearly with the increase of frequency in oscillation and storage modulus does non-linearly. The higher the temperature is, the lower change amplitude of loss modulus with frequency will be. The emulsifiers with imide and amide functionality for emulsion explosives have better shear properties at high temperature and better shapingness and stability at room temperature than other emulsifiers with ester and Sorbin Monoleate （SMO） functionality.

文摘Numerical modeling of salt tectonics is a rapidly evolving field; however, the constitutive equations to model long-term rock salt rheology in nature still remain controversial. Firstly, we built a database about the strain rate versus the differential stress through collecting the data from salt creep experiments at a range of temperatures（20–200 ℃） in laboratories. The aim is to collect data about salt deformation in nature, and the flow properties can be extracted from the data in laboratory experiments.Moreover, as an important preparation for salt tectonics modeling, a numerical model based on creep experiments of rock salt was developed in order to verify the specific model using the Abaqus package. Finally, under the condition of low differential stresses, the deformation mechanism would be extrapolated and discussed according to microstructure research. Since the studies of salt deformation in nature are the reliable extrapolation of laboratory data, we simplified the rock salt rheology to dislocation creep corresponding to power law creep（n = 5） with the appropriate material parameters in the salt tectonic modeling.

文摘The rapeseed oil extracted from the mature seeds was purified by refining processing,and the rheological characteristic analysis of the viscosity and dynamic shear rate at gradient temperatures was made.The result shows that at 20,40,60 and 80 ℃ respectively,when the shear rate gradually rises,the torque increases accordingly but its viscosity does not vary distinctly.The result suggests that when rapeseed oil is used as the raw of edible oils and industries,the working procedures at high temperature will not influence its rheological characteristic distinctly.

文摘It is known that there exist obivious differences between the two most commonly used definitions of fractional derivatives-Riemann-Liouville （R-L） definition and Caputo definition. The multiple definitions of fractional derivatives in fractional calculus have hindered the application of fractional calculus in rheology. In this paper, we clarify that the R-L definition and Caputo definition are both rheologically imperfect with the help of mechanical analogues of the fractional element model （Scott-Blair model）. We also clarify that to make them perfect rheologically, the lower terminals of both definitions should be put to ∞. We further prove that the R-L definition with lower terminal a →∞ and the Caputo definition with lower terminal a →∞ are equivalent in the differentiation of functions that are smooth enough and functions that have finite number of singular points. Thus we can define the fractional derivatives in rheology as the R-L derivatives with lower terminal a →∞ （or, equivalently, the Caputo derivatives with lower terminal a →∞） not only for steady-state processes, but also for transient processes. Based on the above definition, the problems of composition rules of fractional operators and the initial conditions for fractional differential equations are discussed, respectively. As an example we study a fractional oscillator with Scott-Blair model and give an exact solution of this equation under given initial conditions.
