pipeline simulation

[processengineer1998]

Hi
I want to know which software(Pipephase or OLGA)is more reliable for simulation of a onshore-offshore pipeline with 25 km length which transmit 3 phases GAS stream.
what is the limitations , PROs and CONs for each one.

There are 25 hard core multi-phase products that compete with OLGA. There are a couple of hundred products that compete heads-up with PipePhase.

I'm not even going to ask why you limited your question to those two since I have no intention of writing a detailed evaluation of either product with limitations and an objective list of pro's and con's for each one. People pay me good money to prepare that sort of detailed report.

I thought OLGA was a transient simulator and Pipephase was a steady state simulator?

Sort out what are you trying to simulate: steady state conditions (for say, pump/ compressor sizing and insulation requirements) or transient behaviour (for say surge relief design) and then ask again?
