ДTo achieve a stable the transportation of a multiphase fluid flow (gas + gas condensate) via industrial and trunk pipelines, both specialized automatic transportation systems and subsea production systems are used. Special computer-aided design tools are used to create engineering solutions for these systems. One of such multiphase fluid transportation design systems is OLGA. Traditionally, dynamic modeling of multiphase flows is necessary and is used to determine the hydraulic diameter of a pipeline, to analyze the plug flow in different operation modes of a pipeline, to study the formation of hydrates, and address other operational challenges.
