... depends significantly on the water cut. In general, the pressure drop increases with water cut, reaching a maximum value at around WC=80%, after which the pressure drop decreases again. For three-phase experiments with tap water, the maximum pressure drop was typically 20–40% higher than for two-phase...

... experiments in low liquid loading flows with high gas rates were conducted in the Large Scale Loop at the SINTEF Multiphase Flow Laboratory. The experiments were conducted in both a near-horizontal 8" pipe, and a vertical 4" pipe, where particular emphasis was put on studying the effect of water cut...

... of instruments for three-phase flow is performed. The focus is on the volume fraction of gas in the liquid slug. A comparison of the measured results from these two instruments is conducted, and the effect of water cut and oil-water flow regime on the void-in-slug is also analysed. The performance of some...
