As a steady-state multiphase flow simulator, pressure drop, temperature exchange, black oil, and fluid models compose SELMA core.
Pressure drop models
Pressure drop is modelled by multiphase flow correlations. SELMA contains 14 empirical and mechanistic models widely used in the industry, including :
- Ansari (1994)
- Beggs and Brill (1973)
- Gray (1978)
- Hagedorn and Brown (1965)
- Xiao (1990)
- Orkiszewski (1967)
- Aziz et al. (1972)

Black Oil Models
In the first two posts, we presented our tool and its differentials. Now, we are going to explore the theoretical base that sustains the simulator development. One of the first steps to build a multiphase flow model is to choose how the fluid will be represented on the simulator. The two most common fluid characterization…

Black Oil Models – Real Case
In our last post, we conferred SELMA’s black oil models. Today we are presenting how the models influence outputs by presenting a real case. Along our study journey, we learn tons of physical and mathematical models, we are taught when we should use each based on conditions, characteristics, and goals. However, we don’t have many…
