Holdup of the liquid slug in two phase intermittent flow

Journal Article · · Int. J. Multiphase Flow; (United States)

A physical model for the prediction of gas holdup in liquid slugs in horizontal and vertical two phase pipe slug flow is presented. This model can also be used to yield the transitio between elongated bubbles and slug flow within the intermittent flow pattern. In addition a previously published model for predicting the stable slug length in vertical upward slug flow is extended here for the case of horizontal slug flow.
