  • AUTONOMOUS FLOW MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20250190659
    Abstract: This invention relates to an autonomous flow management system for regulating a multiphase flow in a pipeline-based transport system which utilises a novel computer-implemented method for predicting the multiphase fluid behaviour in the pipeline-based transport system.

  • METHOD AND TOOL FOR PLANNING AND DIMENSIONING SUBSEA PIPELINE-BASED TRANSPORT SYSTEMS FOR MULTIPHASE FLOWS
    Publication number: 20240220687
    Abstract: This invention relates to a computer-implemented method for predicting fluid behaviour in pipeline-based multiphase flows, wherein the method comprises applying a one-dimensional computational fluid dynamic applying a finite volume method in the solver and which estimates the mass flux out of the finite control volumes by i) applying a polynomial to spatially reconstruct the mass present in each finite control volume, ii) reconstructing the flow velocity as a function of the x-component of the flow velocity vector to determine a domain of dependence for each finite control volume representing the distance the fluid has travelled during a time step, and iii) sum the spatially reconstructed mass being present in the domain of dependence for each finite control volume and assume the summarised mass passes out of the respective finite control volume over the applied time step.
