One of the key problems in designing the pipelines and wells and controlling the fluid transport along is to predict the pressure along-hole pressure distribution during the stationary fluid transport.
In many cases the flow can be considered as isothermal or quasi-isothermal.
Pipeline flow simulator is addressing this problem with account of the varying pipeline trajectory, gravity effects and fluid friction with pipeline walls.
