... the hydraulic simulator backbone. ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company (EMURC) has developed a number of custom tools that fully integrate with in-house and commercial flow simulators through these APIs. Demonstrated here, EMURC's proprietary Sand Transport Model has been used to manage decisions for pipelines...

... ABSTRACT The present work shows the methodology followed in order to implement and validate a sand transport model within a commercial multiphase simulator. Several published correlations for critical velocity, i.e. the velocity required to maintain suspended the sand particles, were...
