Multiphase flow is simultaneous flow of liquid with different properties but in the same phase such as gas, water and oil. Immiscible liquid-liquid flow is a common occurrence encountered in a variety of industrial processes. In oil and gas industry, oil transportation either from reservoir to processing facilities or to onshore refinery are usually transported in multiphase flow condition since water and oil are normally produced together. Fractions of water are usually influenced by its existence within the stratum and also through oil recovery method which used water to enhance the remaining oil in the reservoir.
