Multi-phase modelling and simulations for different fluid interactions, flow rates, slug formation, fluid pressures etc., and this momentum can be used to assess different inlet distribution configurations and baffles arrangements on the separator and other pressure vessels.

Additionally, aspects such as sloshing of the pressure vessels, Life assessment studies using the FEA tools can be used for prediction of the life and failures.

A combination of CFD and FEA analyses has historically been used for these purposes in the oil processing, gas processing and water treatment process packages
