ABSTRACT

In designing control systems for stabilization of severe riser slugging by active choking, there is a need for simplified system models. In this contribution, a simplified dynamic model for riser slugging is presented, based on mass and momentum conservation equations. The performance of the model was verified against existing experimental data of an S-shaped riser test loop. The dynamic model will be further applied to improve active feedback control schemes in platform risers, in case of severe slugging problems.
