Precise prediction of the gas–liquid slug flow is crucial for proper design and operation at
various industrial processes. This paper provides a comprehensive review of published …

Thinning of pipe wall due to erosion and corrosion has resulted in many catastrophic failures
and huge economic losses in petroleum refineries (Wood et al., 2013) and nuclear power …

Flow visualisation experiments are reported for intermittent regime of gas–liquid two-phase
flow. Intermittent flow characteristics, which include plug/slug frequency, liquid plug/slug …

As a part of characterizing the bubble interaction mechanisms and flow regime transition
processes in horizontal gas–liquid two-phase flow, a flow visualization study is performed in …

In the present paper, the flow was examined experimentally using air and water as the
working fluids. Various sets of experimental data were conducted by varying the superficial …

The current work investigates the plug-to-slug transition in horizontal air–water two-phase
flow in small (38.1 mm) and large (101.6 mm) diameter pipes. An extensive database is …

Transition of plug to slug flow is associated with bubble detachment from elongated bubble
tail or bubble entrainment inside the liquid slug. The mechanism responsible for this …

Abstract Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach, encoded on STAR-CCM+ was
used to simulate air and highly viscous liquid two-phase slug flow in a 50.8-mm (2-in.) ID …

The interfacial area transport equation dynamically models the changes in interfacial
structures along the flow field by mechanistically modeling the creation and destruction of …

In this paper, a one-dimensional, transient theoretical model, the Piston Flow Model (PFM),
based on momentum analysis, is proposed to predict the time dependent forces acting on …
