Oil Water Separator | FLOW-3D HYDRO @flow3d

Uploaded July 2025 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

FLOW-3D HYDRO is an ideal tool to simulate multiphase flows in the field of produced water and optimize design to achieve the best performance. This simulation shows a baffled oil-water separator. As we can see, the heavier water phase stays at the bottom (dark blue color), while the lighter oil phase rises to the top (light grey color), and eventually flows over a weir to be separated from the water phase.

$Air Entrainment at a Labyrinth Spillway | FLOW-3D HYDRO This example of a labyrinth weir spillway illustrates FLOW-3D HYDROs air entrainment physics in a one-fluid volume of fluid model. The air entrainment physics estimate the rate at which gas (represented by void regions) is entrained into the flow using a balance of stabilizing forces (gravity and surface tension) and destabilizing forces (turbulence). Although the primary focus of the model is to compute the air entrainment resulting from turbulent disturbances at a free surface, the model also contains logic for handling entrainment resulting from laminar jets impinging on a free surface. In this video, the fluid is colored by the entrained air volume fraction calculated by the air entrainment physics.
