Resumo:Transient multiphase flow in pipes is a common phenomenon in chemical, nuclear and petroleum industries. Numerical simulation of multiphase flow in pipes is an essential tool for economic and safety analysis related to design and management of production and exploration projects. In this work, we propose a fully-implicit numerical solution for a transient compositional two-phase flow in a wellbore using two-fluid model. The system of governing equations consists of mass balance equations for each component, one energy equation for mixture, and one momentum equation for each phase. In addition to the conservation equations, thermodynamic equilibrium equations and constraint equations (mole fraction of all components in each phase and sum of volume fractions) are considered. The thermodynamic properties of the hydrocarbons, stability and flash calculations are obtained by using the Peng-Robinson cubic equation of state. The one-dimensional governing equations are discretized by means of finite volume method considering staggered grid scheme. The first order upwind is used to evaluate mass, momentum and energy at the control volume faces. The first order implicit Euler method is applied for temporal discretization. The resulting system of nonlinear algebraic equations is solved simultaneously by using a fully implicit Newton-Raphson method. Finally, a detailed verification of the proposed solutions were performed by comparing the obtained numerical results to reference and commercial simulators. In addition, a reference solution for the frictionless phase segregation benchmark problem was proposed and compared to numerical solutions.
