The Atmos book of pipeline simulation - chapter 13

A range of different flow regimes exist beyond a single phase, but until recently, pipeline simulation software lacked the advancements to model anything beyond a single phase. Now, multi-phase flow regimes can be modeled by a pipeline simulator as long as accuracy is a priority

The Atmos book of pipeline simulation - chapter 12

Look-aheads and optimizers work together to play a crucial role in effectively anticipating risks and violations on a pipeline and prompting actions so appropriate measures can be taken to mitigate future issues.

The Atmos book of pipeline simulation - chapter 11

Investing in a strong, underlying physical pipeline model for offline studies pays dividends during a pipeline’s lifetime. Further value can be added when an underlying model for offline studies is adapted for deployment in real-time

The Atmos book of pipeline simulation - chapter ten

Real-time transient modelling can be an effective leak detection system that detects leaks quickly and accurately estimates their location and size.

The Atmos book of pipeline simulation - chapter nine

Every pipeline has a start-up sequence and emergency shut-down procedure. Surge analysis with pipeline simulation can make pipeline operations more effective.
