Mathematical Modeling of Wax Deposition in Field-Scale Crude Oil Pipeline Systems by Francis Oketch Ochieng, Mathew Ngugi Kinyanjui, Jeconia Okelo Abonyo, Phineas Roy Kiogora

“…The coupled nonlinear partial differential equations governing the flow are discretized in time by a second-order semi-implicit time discretization scheme based on the Adams-Bashforth and Crank-Nicolson methods, which completely decouples the computation of the governing equations. The resulting temporal schemes are discretized in space by the bivariate spectral collocation method based on Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto grid points and simulated in MATLAB software to obtain the profiles of the flow variables. …”
