Field of research

• NTNU Multiphase Lab, Trondheim
• Small scale, atmospheric
• Applied research
• SINTEF Multiphase Lab, Tiller
• Large scale, real conditions pressure
• Direct industrial applications
• LGC Multiphase Group IMFT, Toulouse
• Micro scale phenomena and implications
• Emphasis on fundamentals

Experimental facilities

• NTNU
• Straight acrylic 6 3 cm ID, 16m 15º
• Straight steel 6 , 16m 15º
• Flexible acrylic 5 cm ID 16m
• S riser
• L riser

5
Experimental facilities

• SINTEF
• Medium scale 6.9 cm ID, 200m 1º
• Large scale 19 cm ID, 1000m 1º
• LGC multiphase group
• Vertical section 3 cm ID
• Straight acrylic 5 cm ID, 10m
• IMFT steel 30m

6
Common interest

• Oil/water flow is clearly a shared topic of
  research
• Christophe (Toulouse) experiments and modelling
• Trygve (NTNU) computing schemes
• Karolina (Imperial College visiting NTNU)
  caracterisation of inversion point.
• Monika (NTNU) Influence of water on slug flow

7
Potentialfor Interaction

• Marie Curie training sites
• Visiting PhDs come for 6 months
• Possibility to use the available loops
• Interest validate the results on another loop
  (different fluids, diameter, )
• Sharing of data possible

8
Conclusion

• As a common interest has been found between the
  two laboratories, contact should be kept in the
  future.
• Open invitation to visit NTNU
• Possible Dr.Ing meeting in Pau with visit of
  local facilities (IMFTLGC)
