A single parameter has been developed that predicts the highly nonlinear state of a microgravity flow with a confidence of up to 95% in differentiating slug flow from other regimes for different fluids of radically different properties such as air/water and Freon-11, -12, and -114. The authors have also shown that by taking the best data available based on current knowledge, it was possible to predict the flow regime in experiments with an accuracy of at least 85%, whether the flow was slug or bubbly, slug/annular and annular flow.
