Fluid flow control devices and systems, and methods of flowing fluids therethrough

摘要

Fluid flow control devices comprise a body including a central aperture extending along a longitudinal axis therethrough and a plurality of channels extending from an outer sidewall of the body to an inner sidewall of the body. At least one first channel may intersect at least one other channel. Fluid flow control systems, methods of forming fluid flow control devices, and methods of flowing a fluid through a fluid flow control device are also disclosed.

1. A fluid flow control device, comprising:
a body comprising a central aperture therethrough extending along a longitudinal axis thereof; at least one first channel extending from an outer sidewall of the body to an inner sidewall of the body at a first continuous, uniform direction; and at least one second channel extending from the outer sidewall of the body to the inner sidewall of the body at a second continuous, uniform direction and intersecting the at least one first channel, wherein two intersecting channels fit simultaneously through an area having an approximate width of a single channel, wherein the at least one first channel and the at least one second channel extend at least substantially linearly from the outer sidewall to the inner sidewall of the body.
