Title : A Numerical Study on Plunger Leakage for Beam Pump Systems

Author Name : Yasser Rihan

Synopsis :

In this paper a numerical model for calculating plunger pump leakage is introduced. This model involves calculating the velocity profile for an annulus with the inner wall moving parallel to the outer wall. The calculated average velocity for the annular fluid is used to predict the fluid slippage. The new method for the slippage agrees with published formula at the same operating conditions. The numerical model is used to predict the fluid slippage at different operating conditions.
