Multiphase Flow Laboratory: Severe Slugging Submerged Flexible Riser

This document describes a multiphase flow laboratory that conducts dynamic experiments on topics such as flushing, slugging, bubble dynamics, and transient flows. The laboratory contains equipment for experiments on submerged flexible risers, W-pipe liquid flushing, plug release, vertical flows, and mixing and metering of gas-oil-water flows. It also has capabilities for simulation of multiphase flow in pipelines using a hybrid model that can capture slug and pig dynamics on a moving grid. Examples of simulations include oil-water flushing, hydrodynamic slugging, fluid-structure interaction, and riser slugging.
