Steady-State Multiphase Flow Database

Eduardo Pereyra, Ph.D., Associate Director


A steady-state MS Access database has been donated by Schlumberger to TUFFP.  This database can store two and three-phase flow experimental data.  Unit transformation and capability to import or export data to excel has been provided.  The main objective of this effort is to migrate all the steady-state experimental data acquired in TUFFP to a unique repository.  This will facilitate model verification, especially the new unified code by reporting discrepancies with experimental data.  This evaluation will open new needs on model development by indicating regions of high discrepancy between experiments and modeling predictions. 

Currently all appropriate data from completed TUFFP studies has been uploaded to the database. In the next phase the search for appropriate data sets is being expanded to other data published in literature. Current and future students are being asked to convert their data to the predefined format and also to tabulate any data sets that they may encounter during their literature review and model comparison phase. Effort is also being made to improve the graphical user interface in order to improve ease of access and also to improve access to the various data sets in the database.

Experimental data will be uploaded by research associates. Member companies are also invited to provide any experimental data set which can improve the diversity of the information.
