The flow of steam-water mixtures into geothermal wells is analyzed by using a two-phase model for flashing flow. The model includes the effect of heat transfer from the formation rock to the two-phase mixture. In the reservoir-well system as analyzed, the two-phase flashing flow is assumed to occur in fractures. The model can be used to forecast the mass flow and enthalpy characteristics of two-phase geothermal wells. Relative permeability functions are derived for flashing steam-water flow in the feedzone fractures of geothermal wells.
