Brief

Hagedorn and Brown is an empirical two-phase flow correlation published in 1965 [1].

It doesn't distinguish between the flow regimes.

The heart of the Hagedorn and Brown method is a correlation for the liquid holdup HL [2].

Hagedorn and Brown is the default VLP correlation for the oil wells in the PQplot.

Hagedorn and Brown in PQplot Vs Prosper & Kappa

Math & Physics

Following the law of conservation of energy the basic steady state flow equation is:

144 \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta h} = \bar \rho_m + \frac{f q_L^2 M^2}{2.9652 \times 10^{11} D^5 \bar \rho_m} + \bar \rho_m \frac{\Delta{(\frac{v_m^2}{2g_c}})}{\Delta h}[1]

where

\bar \rho_m = \rho_L H_L + \rho_g (1 - H_L)[1]

Colebrook–White [3] equation for the Darcy's friction factor:

\frac{1}{\sqrt{f}}= -2 \log \left( \frac { \varepsilon} {3.7 D} + \frac {2.51} {\mathrm{Re} \sqrt{f}} \right)[4]

Reynolds two phase number:

Re = 2.2 \times 10^{-2} \frac {q_L M}{D \mu_L^{H_L} \mu_g^{(1-H_L)}}[1]

Modifications

1. Use the no-slip holdup when the original empirical correlation predicts a liquid holdup HL less than the no-slip holdup [2].

2. Use the Griffith correlation to define the bubble flow regime[2] and calculate HL.

3. Use watercut instead of WOR to account for the watercut = 100%.
