Bøe · Pots · Taitel stability criteria — offshore pipeline-riser systems
Why severe slugging cycles form, blowdown mechanics, riser-base gas-lift physics, and active control schemes.
Bøe (1981) stability number — severe slugging if Π < 1:
Pots (1987) — adds pipeline gas-accumulation effect:
Critical vSG (Taitel rearrangement):
