Abstract

Measurements were made of pressure drops for oil and gas flowing simultaneously through four to ten inch diameter pipelines. These results were related with data from the literature for one-half to three inch diameter pipelines. Previously published data were used to construct a generalized chart for predicting the type of flow pattern in the pipeline. The flow patterns described are bubble flow, plug flow, stratified flow, wavy flow, slug flow, annular flow, and spray flow. Our experimental data were shown to be consistent with the generalized flow pattern chart.
