This report presents experimental and simulation results for foam flow with drill pipe rotation. In this study, the Dynamic Testing Facility (DTF) was modified to study the effects of drill pipe rotation on foam flow. Experiments were conducted for aqueous and polymeric foams with qualities ranging from 0.6 to 0.9 under different flow rates. Foam rheology were also tested using the pipe viscometer on the DTF and compared with rheology measurements using the FGV and the ACTF, respectively. Results show that pipe rotation increases pressure drop for lower quality foams (below 70%), but slightly decreases pressure drop for higher quality foams (above 80%). Calibration results of two nuclear densitometers are presented. Preliminary CFD simulations with pipe rotation in both concentric and eccentric annuli are discussed.
