TL;DR: In this paper, a model for interfacial wave propagation for a liquid film on the wall of a vertical pipe and for a flowing gas in the central core was derived for a flat interface, and for traveling waves on the interface.

TL;DR: This review introduces the important attributes of two phase flow in microchannels and then focuses on the Taylor flow regime, which is the most common flow regime encountered in many modern chemical plants.
Abstract: Over the past few decades an enormous interest in two-phase flow in microchannels has developed because of their application in a wide range of new technologies, ranging from lab-on-a-chip devices used in medical and pharmaceutical applications to micro-structured process equipment used in many modern chemical plants. Taylor flow, in which gas bubbles are surrounded by a liquid film and separated by liquid plugs, is the most common flow regime encountered in such applications. This review introduces the important attributes of two phase flow in microchannels and then focuses on the Taylor flow regime. The existing knowledge from both experimental and computational studies is presented. Finally, perspectives for future work are suggested.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the recent progress in understanding and modelling of the governing phenomena of annular two-phase flow and heat transfer and pave a path to mechanistic modelling of dryout and post-dryout heat transfer applicable to nuclear fuel assemblies.

TL;DR: In this article, different closure relations in the one-dimensional two-fluid model were investigated in order to assess the effect on the numerical simulation of vertical annular flows, including the formation and propagation of waves at the gas-liquid interface.
