(retired) There are a few studies covering solid-particles transport in multiphase pipelines. Solid-particles transport is complicated because it depends on several variables, including flow patterns, fluid properties, phase velocities, and pipe-geometry features such as roughness, diameter, and inclination angle. Each of these variables can have significant effects on the solid-particles-transport process. More attention has been paid recently to the importance of tracking solid-particles-transport management over reservoir life. There are three options available for managing solid-particles transport: applying a cleaning operation, installing solid-particles exclusion facilities, and operating above the critical solid-particles-deposition velocity. Cleaning operations, such as pigging, are only applicable for small amounts of solid particles, and they often result in the pig becoming stuck if the pigging frequency is not high enough. Installing solid-particles exclusion systems (e.g., gravel packs) can reduce production and create excessive pressure drops. The third option, operating above the critical solid-particles-deposition velocity, is preferred for solid-particles-production management as a prevention technique under favorable operating conditions because it has practical applications and can be beneficial commercially. To avoid solid-particles deposition, it is necessary to manage solid-particles transport above solid-particles-deposition velocities. On the other hand, operating under unnecessarily high flow rates is not only cost inefficient, but can also create facility damages; therefore, it is necessary to find the optimum velocity to maintain continuous particle movement. This velocity is called the critical solid-particles-deposition velocity. Solid-Particles Flow Regimes Particle interactions and movement have a significant effect on transport of solid particles. Shamlou (1987) defined the most common classification for solid-particles transport in horizontal pipeline as homogeneous flow, heterogeneous flow, heterogeneous and sliding flow, saltation flow, and stationary bed. Doron and Barnea (1996) and Ibarra et al. (2016) defined three main solid-particles flow regimes as suspension, moving bed, and stationary bed. The suspension solidparticles flow regime was further divided into two subpatterns of pseudohomogeneous suspension and heterogeneous suspension. Well-defined flow regimes will clarify under what conditions the particles are moving more or less independently (i.e., not locked together as in a sliding bed). Flow regimes in this paper are applied to multiphase flow, whereas Doron and Barnea (1996) and other flow-regime publications are applicable for single-phase flow only. According to this study, there are six main solid-particles flow regimes in stratified flow in a multiphase pipeline: fully dispersed solid flow, dilute solids at the wall, concentrated solids at the wall, moving dunes, stationary dunes, and stationary bed. Each one is described in the following subsections and shown ...
