Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer program products can be used for visualizing the behavior of flow of two or more fluid phases, wherein a fluid phase behavior is represented in a visualization. One of the methods includes determining an occupation time, which is the amount of elapsed time from when a fluid phase first occupies a particular location until a second time. The method includes generating data for a visualization, with a location in the visualization corresponding to the particular location, and with the generated data for that location in the visualization indicating the occupation time.
