The characteristics of oil-water two phase flow in the case of water initially accumulated at low position in upward inclined pipelines were researched. A large scale experiment loop was conducted to analyse the flow characteristics by using a series of 50 mm transparent acrylic bends with different inclination angle (10 degrees similar to 45 degrees at the interval of 5 degrees). Five flow patterns were identified and a corresponding flow pattern map was established. The same situation was also simulated by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques, and the results of simulation were validated by comparing with the experimental results. The impact of oil superficial velocity, inclination angle and initial water volume on flow characteristics was further investigated. The results indicate that the backflow effect in water phase is the major factor that causes water accumulation at the bottom of the pipe. The initial residual water volume has no influence on the oil-water flow pattern and the water-carrying capacity of oil. The lower flow rate and the higher inclination angle cause the decrease of water-carrying capacity of oil, resulting in the water accumulation at the low position and internal corrosion of product oil pipelines.
