Research 
Focusing on multiphase flow and flow assurance, especially
liquid-liquid flows, wax deposition relevant to the offshore
petroleum industry. The research is particularly aimed at the flow
assurance of infield and main transportation pipelines. Regime boundaries and the effect of surfactants and additives are studied experimentally and theoretically. Advanced experiments are carried out to investigate velocity, phase fraction, drop size distributions and coalescence in order to develop predictive models of flow behavior and assess the separation efficiency of the phases. Plus fraction characterization and thermodynamic method for wax precipitation are studied numerically, mechanism of wax deposition during oil-gas, oil-water complex flow are particularly investigated.
