It is now possible to simulate the stationary multiphase wellbore flow and link the surface flow conditions (pressure, temperature and rates) to downhole flow conditions at any depth.
The most adequate and practical model can be built for a stationary fluid flow at hydrodynamic and thermodynamic equilibrium.
If flow is changing slowly over time the same solutions can be used with inputs as time functions which is called quasi-stationary flow conditions.
