In the simulation software you have the option to ignore the static head contribution.
I know this is normally done for downhill sections of a twophase pipeline but how about a road crossing: is it also normal (and conservative) to ignore the static head related to the (vertical downward) change...
For our current project we have to model a two-phase oil gathering system.
The terrain is essential "flat" but the pipelines, which will be installed above ground, have several road crossings.
Is it normal when modelling a two-phase system to also ignore the static head "downhill" recovery...
