Motivation
...
One of the key problems in designing the pipelines and wells and controlling the fluid transport along is to predict the pressure challenges in Pipe Flow Dynamics is to predict the along-hole pressure distribution during the stationary stationary fluid transporttransport.
In many practical cases the flow pressure distribution can be considered as approximated by Isothermal or Quasi-isothermal model of fluid flow.
Pipeline flow simulator is addressing this problem with account of the varying pipeline trajectory, gravity effects and fluid friction with pipeline walls.
