Adaptive mesh refinement for two-phase slug flows with an a priori indicator

Shows adaptive methods to accurately predict slug flow, even when partially ill-conditioned. Has led to expert reviewer invitations for the PETROMAKS2 project (Norwegian Research Council); a nomination to the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Distinguished Lecturer programme (30 experts appointed annually, worldwide), and industrial grant income of over £1M (Dr Lloyd Brown, recently ConocoPhillips, Lbrown@scideep.com). A study is being supported by SPT Group, who develop and sell the industry standard pipeline tool, to incorporate the technology (gunnar.staff@sptgroup.com). This technology is allowing further investigation of multi-phase flow instability, which is of great engineering importance. (hjsubramani@chevron.com).
