A principle result of this study has been the development of a highly compact and versatile data bank structure to capture two-phase flow data from large diameter pipelines.
Describes liquid hold-up and pressure drop measurements on four sections of in-situ pipe under production conditions that included parameters of hilly terrain, high liquid through-put, and high pressure.
Tis report reviews research by the Pipeline Research Committee (PRC) of the Pipeline Research Council International Inc. (PRCI, Inc.) related to multiphase flow in pipelines. For the past decade the PRC has sponsored field tests to obtain multiphase…
This report responds to A.G.A.s objective of initiating and planning means to create a reliable, mechanistic method of slug frequency prediction. Specific objectives were to:
Update the prior review of existing knowledge
Identify one or more…
This report examines actual fluid flow data for gas/oil pipelines and compares the data to two-phase flow modeling methods. Field data from eight operating pipelines was compared. Measured pressure drop and measured overall holdup for the eight…
This report contains data that demonstrates the scaling of flow regime, pressure drop, and holdup multiphase flow with pipe diameter. In addition, entrance length effects, the onset of liquid entrainment, and interfacial shear modeling at high gas…
Document draws upon the mechanistic model developed in earlier work (L51527 and L51611) and develops an assessment against independent laboratory data at large pipe diameter. The principal comparisons involve flow regime maps, pressure drop and…
Report in the format of a technical note describing mechanistic analysis methods developed in the course of a series of research projects involving pressure drop and liquid hold-up prediction in multiphase flow. The calculated results are compared…
