This paper presents a low-pressure experimental validation of a two-phase transient pipeline flow model. Measured pressure and flow rate data are collected for slug and froth flow patterns at the low pressure of 6 bar at the National University of Singapore Multiphase Flow Loop facility. The analyzed low-dimensional model proposed in comprises a steady-state multiphase flow model in series with a linear dynamic model capturing the flow transients. The model is based on a dissipative distributed parameter model for transient flow in transmission lines employing equivalent fluid properties. These parameters are based solely on the flowing conditions, fluid properties and pipeline geometry. OLGA simulations are employed as an independent method to validate the low-dimension model. Both low-dimensional and OLGA models are evaluated based on the estimated two-phase pressure transients for varying gas volume fraction (GVF). Both models estimated the two-phase flow transient pressure within 5% mean absolute percent error of the laboratory data. Additionally, an unavoidable presence of entrained air within a pipeline is confirmed for the case of 0% GVF as evidenced by the pressure transient estimation. Thus, dampened oscillations in the simulated 0% GVF case exists owing to an increase in the fluid compressibility.
