The Study of Two-Phase Flow for Crude Oil Production Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Modeling the liquid-gas phase flow inside the horizontal and inclined pipe using CFD analysis is difficult due to continuously changing flow patterns. The main objectives of this research are to investigate the flow pattern of liquid-gas phase inside the horizontal and inclined pipe. Two-phase flows...
