Slug flow is a prevalent and undesirable multiphase flow regime which occurs in many
industrial processes, causing time varying stresses in pipes and supports and consequently …

This paper describes an incident that occurred during the baseline inspections of pre-
commissioning activities performed on a 20-in. metallurgically bonded corrosion resistant …

Slug flow induces vibration in pipelines, which may, in some cases, result in fatigue failure.
This can result from dynamic stresses, induced by the deflection and bending moment in the …

Fatigue life of submarines pipelines is known to depend on many factors, eg, materials,
spanning length, vortex induced vibration (VIV), pipe soil-interaction, etc. In the case of VIV …

Severe slugging is an unstable multiphase flow pattern occurs in a pipeline riser with low
gas and liquid flowrates. It is highly undesired in practical operation because of the pressure …

Subsea oil and gas pipelines undergo vibration due to" slug" flow within the internal fluid
contents of the pipeline. This slug flow is generated by the differences in density of the …

Flow of gas in pipelines is subject to thermodynamic conditions which produces two-phase
bulks (ie, slugs) within the axial pipeline flow. These moving slugs apply a moving load on …

Slug multiphase flow is known to be the most prevalent regime because of its extensive
encounters associated with chaotic behaviour, complexity and instability that cause …

The continuing rapid growth in the world's energy demands, has resulted in oil and gas
exploration and production moving towards offshore facilities and the expansion of …

The flow of a liquid mass, ie a 'slug', inside thin-walled spanning pipelines, produces a
lateral traversing force. This moving force initiates dynamic stresses within the structure and …
