Note 1: Steady state pre-processor may be run with wax deposition or hydrate kinetics activated, but the pre-processor does not consider the wax
phase or hydrate formation.
Note 2: All process equipment except displacement pump, pump battery, controllers, separator, heated walls (subkey POWER etc in WALL), leaks
and check valves are incorporated.
Note 3: Steady state pre-processor may be run to initialize cases with slug tracking and pig tracking, but the effect of tracking slugs and pigs is only
seen in the transient calculations.
Note 4: The hydrate kinetics module can be run with MEG/MeOH/EtOH and Tracer tracking, but the hydrate formation is not influenced.
Note 5: The Complex Fluid module (CFM) work well with the water option. However, when oil & water form an emulsion the compatibility with
CFM is not complete. For stratified flow the resulting emulsion viscosity is used correctly in CFM, but for slug flow only a volume
weighted average between tabulated oil and water viscosities is used.
Note 6: Tabulated viscosities are used in the pump and compressor models instead of effective viscosities from the Complex Fluid module.
Note 7: Tracer tracking can be combined with slug tracking, but Tracer tracking uses the standard numeric scheme in OLGA and not the tracking
scheme used in slug tracking. That is, the tracer masses will be constant in a section and not follow the slug front. In principle, Tracer
tracking also works with pig tracking (which is a special version of slug tracking), but there might be problems for sections without liquid.
The chance for this happening is much less in a slug tracking simulation.
Note 8: The Steamwater-HC and single component options can both be run in the steady state pre-processor, but numerical problems may arise
more easily. Especially cases where the saturation is crossed when travelling from inlet to outlet in the pipeline can prove difficult.
