Severe slugging occurs at pipe-riser systems. The phenomenon is highly undesirable and
can have influence on production and damage process equipment. A one-dimensional
model is developed in order to simulate the severe slugging phenomenon. The model is
developed to the open source program OpenFOAM. The model is tested and all relevant
OpenFOAM coding is presented. The model was found capable of capturing physical
behavior such as static pressure, friction, and buoyancy. The model is not capable of
simulating severe slugging, but future work is proposed in order to achieve this.
