Reference for Bouwer-Rice parameters A, B and C

[MattBrst]

To start with: thank you for sharing your code with the rest of us!

In the reference guide you have written down polynomials to calculate parameters A, B and C for Bouwer-Rice.

I tried to find the origin of these parameters, but could not find it in the references cited by you. I guess it comes from the book of Butler (1997): The Design, Performance and Analysis of Slug Tests, which is cited in the slugtest project. Is this correct?

For others who might be looking for information about parameter A, B and C estimates. I found other polynomial estimates of:

1. Yang and Yeh (2004): 'A simple approach using Bouwer and Rice's method for slug test data analysis'. They compare their solution to a solution by Van Rooy (1988) which I could not find, but which is reported by Butler in his book.
2. Karl DeBisschop: explains yet another method in his comments on Hydrotools at Sourceforge.

Hi, yes, the parameters in this tool are based on the book of Butler (1997): The Design, Performance and Analysis of Slug Tests.

Thanks Annabel.

I would like to update the code with some documentation, and a better readability. Can you please give me rights to create a branch in this repository?

In the second edition of the book of Butler (2020), he cites the paper of Yang and Yeh (2004) and uses their polynomials.

As Yang and Yeh point out, their method is better for parameter B at values of L/rw > 600.
