The stratified water-oil two—phase flow was modeled using VOF method in horizontal pipe and surface tension was taken into consideration using CSF model. It was found that the surface tension had great impact on the small density difference two-phase flow even in large diameter pipe, which would lead the interface curved and pressure gradient increased.

This work performs an oil-water two-phase flow simulation in a downhole Venturi meter to investigate the flow field and pressure characteristics with different flow and oil-water ratios. The relation between the pressure drop and the feed flow rate in the flowmeter is investigated for its optimal design.

Nine existing mixture viscosity models were tested for predicting a two-phase pressure drop for oil-water flow and refrigerant (R.134a) flow. The predicted data calculated by using these mixture viscosity models were compared with experimental data. Predicted data from using one group of mixture viscosity models had a good agreement with the experimental data for oil-water two-phase flow. Another group of viscosity models was preferable for gas-liquid flow, but these models gave underestimated values with an error of about 50%. A new and more reliable mixture viscosity model was proposed for use in the prediction of pressure drop in gas-liquid two-phase flow.

Abstract The gas-liquid two-phase flow is characterized by continuous and local change of surface separation of phases and by their mutual interactions. Due to the instability of the flow, heat transfer and mass, a precise analytical approach is difficult to achieve. Despite these difficulties, efforts are underway to progress from the more frequent empirical studies to reliable analytical models. This requires an accurate research of the processes involved in the two phase flow and how they interact with one another. This paper aims to determine the pressure drop for a two-phase flow in a horizontal pipe of a heating plant. The author compares the results obtained by numerical simulation with existing results in the domain. The mixture is air-water, at an environmental temperature of 25°C.
