| Abstract: | Oil-water flow in horizontal and slightly inclined pipes was investigated. The
experimental activities were performed using the multiphase flow loop at Telemark University
College, Porsgrunn, Norway. The two-fluid model was able
to predict the pressure drop and water hold-up for stratified flow. The homogeneous model was
not able to predict the pressure profile of dispersed oil-water flow at higher water cuts. The
two-fluid model and homogeneous model over-predicts the pressure drop for dual continuous
flow. |
