Gas–liquid two-phase flow in microchannels with hydraulic diameters of 100–500μm
exhibits drastically different flow behaviors from its counterpart in conventional macroscopic …

This paper presents a drift flux correlation and a pressure based method to overcome
convergence problems of two phase flow simulation in wellbores. The drift flux correlation is …

A phase is defined as one of the states of the matter. It can be a solid, a liquid, or a gas.
Multiphase flow is the simultaneous flow of several phases. The study of multiphase flow is …

As the oil-based drilling mud is widely used in the development of oil and gas in deep water,
how to model gas intrusion in the oil-based drilling mud accurately becomes a key issue for …

Early gas kick detection is an important measure to ensure well control safety. In accordance
with the fluctuation of the bottomhole pressure during early gas kick, the gas kick can be …

Gas–liquid two-phase flow in pipes is frequently encountered in many applications, such as
nuclear and oil industries. In the present work non-isothermal intermittent air–water two …

The friction coefficient is an important factor that affects the accurate calculation of wellbore
annular pressure distribution and is of great significance for the safety of drilling operations …

The calculations of friction pressure drop is the most complicated in multiphase flow.
Understanding of the friction pressure drop in pipes are of great importance for many …

Offshore oil and gas exploitation is usually accompanied of water (brine) and sand. High
water cuts at high pressure scenarios (deep waters) and low temperature (cold waters) favor …

Vigorous aeration and instantaneous pressure fluctuations associated with intermittent flow
cause severe erosion-corrosion in the piping systems which lead to material degradation or …
