Pipelines in oil and gas production systems normally transport mixtures of oil, water, and gas, meaning that they are multiphase. Accurately simulating multiphase flow processes is important for efficient oil field operation.
The OptiRamp multiphase flow algorithm uses conservation laws and well-established empirical formulas to simulate changes in the mass flow rate and thermodynamic properties of single- or multi-phase fluids transported through pipelines while accounting for fluid compression and phase transitions.
