Multiphase flow is the area of fluid mechanics that deals with the simultaneous flow of two or more immiscible phases of matter (gas, liquid, or solid). Although this phenomenon may occur in many industrial applications, this textbook focuses on the application of multiphase pipe flow in oil and natural gas production systems, specifically wells, surface flowlines, and system restrictions such as wellhead chokes. In this book, the terms “multiphase” and “two-phase” are used interchangeably.
Multiphase flow technology has become increasingly important for the economic transportation of well streams from the reservoir to processing facilities. Multiphase flow is a common occurrence in oil and gas production in wells and transportation through pipelines.
