Tilting influences the flow patterns and thus the heat transfer and pressure drop during
condensation in smooth tubes. However, few studies are available on diabatic two-phase …

A reliable multiphase flow simulator is an important tool to improve wellbore integrity and
production decision-making. To develop a multiphase flow model with high adaptability and …

Aiming at the simulation of multi-phase flow in the wellbore during the processes of gas kick
and well killing of complex-structure wells (eg, directional wells, extended reach wells, etc.) …

Drift-flux model has been diffusely applied to characterize two-phase flow in pipes and
wellbores owing to its accuracy and simplicity. The constitutive correlations used in the drift …

The reliable predictions of liquid holdup and pressure drop are essential for pipeline design
in oil and gas industry. In this study, the drift-flux approach is utilized to calculate liquid …

Low liquid loading gas/liquid flow is frequently encountered in natural gas production and
wet gas transmission through long distance pipelines. In this review the typical flow …

In oilfield operations, co-current flow of oil–water mixture is very common and can cause
significant flow assurance problems during production. Accurate knowledge of behaviour of …

The increasing exploiting activities in unconventional gas reservoirs renew the interests of
investigating liquid loading phenomenon, a common production issue for gas wells. Most …

Solid particle erosion has been long recognized as a potential problem in oil and gas
production systems. The most vulnerable parts of production systems tend to be components …

Measurements of wave characteristics have been conducted in a 0.0762 m internal diameter
(ID) pipe at inclinations of 0°, 10°, 20°, 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90° from horizontal. Wave celerity …
