• Anti-Slug Control Experiments Using Nonlinear Observers 

      Jahanshahi, Esmaeil; Skogestad, Sigurd; Grøtli, Esten Ingar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Abstract: To prevent slug-flow on offshore oil production units, controlling a subsea pressure is the recommended solution. However, the subsea pressure is not often available as a measurement. The top-side pressure is ...
    • Nonlinear model-based control of two-phase flow in risers by feedback linearization 

      Jahanshahi, Esmaeil; Skogestad, Sigurd; Grøtli, Esten Ingar (Journal article, 2013)
      Active control of the production choke valve is the recommended solution to prevent severe slugging flow conditions at offshore oilfields. The slugging flow constitutes an unstable and highly nonlinear system; the gain of ...
