Abstract
Smart choke valves are the future trend in the oil industry. In addition to their classical role in the control of intermittent flow, these valves have the huge benefit of easing phase separation. Smart valves should also preferably be a new generation equipment that could be used in different flow conditions (pressure, flow rates, component fraction). The present work introduces a new geometry to cyclonic valves, so as to make the energy dissipation rate more distributed and the centrifugal effects enhanced. The performance of the new valve is analyzed and compared with a regular globe valve. The new geometry exhibits a promising performance.
