Slug Volume Calculation Using Hysys

Slug Volume Calculation Using Hysys

Slug Volume Calculation Using Hysys

(OP)
I have tried to use the "Do Slug Tool Calculations" option in Hysys (pipe segment) to evaluate the pipeline slugging. The Slug Tool Results table displays the following results: Position, Status, Frequency , Slug Length, Bubble Length, Film Holdup, Velocity, Pressure Gradient and Length Ratio Slug/Bubble. I would like to know how to interpret the results ("Slug Results") and find out the Slug Volume from the above data. I would appreciate if anybody share their past experience on estimating the Slug Volume using Slug Tool Results in Hysys 3.4.

RE: Slug Volume Calculation Using Hysys

The volume of a slug would be the length multiplied with the inside area of your pipe!

Since the result as far as i know/remember are probalistic you may wont to add a margin for that extra big slug...

So unless you cant to go really simple (make an assumption such as "the max slug length is twince the riser length" or max slug length=400m then you should consider more detailed analysis such as OLGA.

Best regards

Morten
