For deviated wells, the Beggs and Brill hold up correction is used.
To determine interfacial tension, the Parachor technique is used.
Petroleum Experts correlation uses the Orkiszweski Flow Map and for the
various flow regimes the following are used
Bubble Flow Wallis and Griffith
Slug Flow Hagedorn and Brown
Transition Duns and Ros
Annular Mist Flow Duns and Ros
