Abstract
The mathematical models for the calculation of flows in steam-water geothermal wells are described. The models cover the full range of the possible flow conditions: a vertical well with invariable mass flow, a vertical well with variable mass flow, a slant well with invariable mass flow, and a slant well with variable mass flow.
