Critical Flow

Critical flow occurs through a choke when the velocity of fluid flow exceeds the
velocity of sound in the fluid. Under conditions of critical flow, any disturbance to the
fluid stream occurring downstream of the choke cannot be communicated upstream of
the choke. In sub-critical flow disturbances can be transmitted upstream of the choke,
for example a change in separator pressure may resulting in a pressure variations at
the bottom hole gauges.
