Simplified transient solution and simulation of two-phase flow in pipelines

A simplified transient formulation for calculating transient behavior of two-phase flow in a pipelines system is proposed. The formulation assumes a quassi-steady-stage gas flow and a local equilibrium momentum balance. The applicability of this method is demonstrated for the case of a pipeline system with horizontal, upward and downward inclined sections.
