Stationary Fluid flow with reservoir and fluid staying at quasistatic equilibrium and fluid pressure and temperature are  with fluid pressure 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyp(t, {\bf r})
 is not changing in time:

LaTeX Math Block
anchorp
alignmentleft
p(t, {\bf r}) = p({\bf r})

This immediately leads to stationary fluid velocity

T{\bf u}(t, {\bf r}) = T {\bf u}({\bf r})

Well production or injection resulting in steady state flow is characterised by:

In the most general case (both reservoir and pipelines) the fluid velocity is a function of pressure and pressure gradient and can be written as:

constant flow rate

p_e(t) = p_e = \rm const

constant formation pressure 

F({\bf r}, p, \nabla p)

with right side not dependent on time in stationary flow:

\frac{\partial {\bf u}(t, {\bf r})}{\partial t}= 0

The fluid temperature 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyT(t, {\bf r})
 is supposed to vary slowly enough to provide quasistatic equilibrium.


This flow regime is often observed in pipeline fluid flow and reservoir fluid flows.
