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 H_L[2].

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]

Workflow

To find H_L calculate:

M =SG_o\ 350.52\ \frac{1}{1+WOR}+SG_w\ 350.52\ \frac{WOR}{1+WOR}+SG_g\ 0.0764\ GLR[1]
\rho_L= \frac{62.4\ SG_o + \frac{Rs\ 0.0764\ SG_g}{5.614}}{B_o} \frac{1}{1+WOR} + 62.4\ SG_w\ \frac{WOR}{1 + WOR}[5]
\rho_g = \frac{28.967\ SG_g\ p}{z\ 10.732\ T_R} [5]
\mu_L = \mu_o \frac{1}{1 + WOR} + \mu_w \frac{WOR}{1 + WOR}[5]
\sigma_L = \sigma_o \frac{1}{1 + WOR} + \sigma_w \frac{WOR}{1 + WOR}[5]
N_L = 0.15726\ \mu_L \sqrt[4]{\frac{1}{\rho_L \sigma_L^3}}[1]
CN_L = 0.061\ N_L^3 - 0.0929\ N_L^2 + 0.0505\ N_L + 0.0019 [2]
v_{SL} = \frac{5.615 q_L}{86400 A_p} \left ( B_o \frac{1}{1+WOR} + B_w \frac{WOR}{1+WOR} \right )[5]

N_{GV} = 1.938\ v_{SG}\ \sqrt[4]{\frac{\rho_L}{\sigma_L}} [1]
N_{D} = 120.872\ D \sqrt{\frac{\rho_L}{\sigma_L}} [1]
H = \frac{N_{LV}}{N_{GV}^{0.575}}\ \left ( \frac{p}{14.7} \right )^{0.1} \frac{CN_L}{N_D} [2]
\frac{H_L}{\psi} = \sqrt{\frac{0.0047+1123.32 H + 729489.64H^2}{1+1097.1566 H + 722153.97 H^2}} [6]
B = \frac{N_{GV} N_{LV}^{0.38}}{N_{D}^{2.14}} [2]
\psi = \begin{cases} 27170 B^3 - 317.52 B^2 + 0.5472 B + 0.9999, &\mbox{if } B <= 0.025 \\ -533.33 B^2 + 58.524 B + 0.1171, & \mbox{if }B > 0.025 \\ 2.5714 B +1.5962, & \mbox{if }B > 0.055 \end{cases} [6]
H_L = \frac{H_L}{\psi} \times \psi[1]
