INVESTIGATION OF LIQUID DISTRIBUTION AND SURFACE CHARACTER IN HORIZONTAL ANNULAR TWO-PHASE FLOW

Abstract

The investigation concerned the liquid distribution and surface character of the liquid when quantities of liquid and gas are flowing together in such proportions as to cause the liquid to flow in a thin film on the wall of the confining tube, i.e., annular two-phase flow. The data obtained disclosed that throughout much of the so-called annular pattern of horizontal two-phase flow a considerable eccentricity of the liquid exists due to gravity effects. At moderate gas rates and very low liquid flows, film symmetry is approached; at very high gas rate a good approach to symmetry is obtained regardless of the liquid rate. (Author)
