... viscosities, ranging from 0.069 Pa·s to 0.153 Pa·s. A fast response X-ray computer tomography (CT) system was utilised to measure holdups and phase distributions. The measurements from the X-ray CT system have been systematically analysed to illustrate how the oil viscosity impacts the flow characteristics...

... Introduction Gas-liquid two-phase flow in pipes is a common occurrence in the petroleum industry production and transportation of oil and gas. Brito et al. (2013) experimentally observed that slug flow is the most frequent flow pattern observed for medium oil viscosities. This study...

.... Nuñez et al. (1) give a general overview of heavy oil pipeline transportation methods. However, multiphase wellstream transfer is not covered by this or other reviews. There is a significant amount of high quality experimental data available for multiphase flow with oil viscosity up to about 50 cP...
