Summary: To simulate the behaviour of the sand within a pipeline at multiple flow conditions a two-phase model has been developed which deals with both the water and fluid phase as a fluid. This paper will discuss how the model handles the simulation of fully suspended flow in a channel at multiple sand fractions.
