Flow-affecting device

摘要

Fluid flow influencer devices in chambers subsequent to vortex assemblies are described. A flow-affecting device can move from a first position to a second position based on a flow path of fluid flowing from the vortex assembly to the chamber. The flow path may depend on an amount of rotation of the fluid from the vortex assembly. The flow-affecting device in the first position can substantially allow fluid to flow through a chamber exit opening. The flow-affecting device in the second position can substantially restrict fluid from flowing through the chamber exit opening.

主权项

1. An assembly capable of being disposed in a wellbore, the assembly comprising:
a chamber that is a non-vortex-assembly chamber adapted to be positioned subsequent to an exit opening of a vortex assembly; and a flow-affecting device in the chamber, the flow-affecting device being adapted to move between a first position and a second position based on an amount of rotation of fluid entering the chamber from the vortex assembly.
