In this paper, the authors use dimensional analysis to establish the independent parameters that affect the static liquid holdup. The authors also present experimental data to explore the dependence of the static holdup on the E[umlt o]tv[umlt o]s number; through comparison with previous theoretical works, the authors analyze the mechanisms responsible for the effect of E[umlt o]tv[umlt o]s number on the static liquid holdup.
