... of phase k Mk Momentum transfer of phase k 5© BHR Group 2005 Multiphase Production Technology 12 1 INTRODUCTION One of the big issues in the oil and gas industries is the understanding of the behaviour of multiphase mixtures in pipeline transport. Indeed, it is important to be able to predict the gas...

...°. The experiments were conducted with a paraffinic process oil (10.2cp at 37°C) and compressed air. Significant observations were made for slug dissipation and slug characteristic (length, initiation, frequency, transitional velocity). The oil-water-gas flows have also been widely 23© BHR Group 2005 Multiphase...
