Development of a multiphase variable mass flow model and its application in well control for variable gradient managed pressure drilling

A multiphase flow model is an important foundation for well control simulation. In this paper, a multiphase variable mass flow model considering sudden density change was developed for variable gradient managed pressure drilling (MPD) and it was solved by finite difference method (FDM). Further, the...
