Slug flow in a large diameter pipe

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5769933

Experimental and anlytical results are presented for two-phase slug flow in a transparent, large diameter pipe (6.75 inches ID) at high gas density. Slug characteristics of velocity, length, frequency, carpet profile and carpet velocity, as well as pressure drop, have been measured and compared with correlations and mechanistic models.
