Unified model for gas-liquid pipe flow via slug dynamics: Part 1: Model development
TL;DR: In this paper, a unified hydrodynamic model is developed for predictions of flow pattern transitions, pressure gradient, liquid holdup and slug characteristics in gas-liquid pipe flow at all inclination angles from -90° to 90° from horizontal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slug flow modeling for downward inclined pipe flow: theoretical considerations
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed description of the slug dissipation process in a downhill section and the calculation of the dissipation distance are discussed. But the authors do not discuss the physical meaning of these conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analogous behavior of pseudo-slug and churn flows in high viscosity liquid system and upward inclined pipes
Auzan A. Soedarmo,Gabriel Soto-Cortes,Eduardo Pereyra,Hamidreza Karami,Hamidreza Karami,Cem Sarica +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of Taylor bubble flooding and a unified slug flow model is used to predict the SL to PS transition accurately within the experimental range, further supporting the analogy between PS and CH.
Journal ArticleDOI
CFD modeling of air and highly viscous liquid two-phase slug flow in horizontal pipes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach, encoded on STAR-CCM+ to simulate air and highly viscous liquid two-phase slug flow in a 50.8mm (2in.) ID and 18.9m (62ft) long horizontal pipe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slug Dynamics in Gas-Liquid Pipe Flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the continuity and momentum equations for fully developed and spatially developing slug flows are established by considering the entire film zone as the control volume, and they are used for the calculations of pressure gradient, slug frequency, liquid holdup in the film flow pattern transition, slug dissipation, and slug tracking.

Fundamentals of the hydrodynamic mechanism of splitting in dispersion processes
TL;DR: In this paper, Taylor's experiments on the breakup of a drop in simple types of viscous flow, (b) breakup of an air stream, and (c) emulsification in a turbulent flow are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravity currents and related phenomena
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a broad investigation into the properties of steady gravity currents, in so far as they can be represented by perfect-fluid theory and simple extensions of it (like the classical theory of hydraulic jumps) that give a rudimentary account of dissipation.

A Model for Gas-Liquid Slug Flow in Horizontal and Near Horizontal Tubes
TL;DR: Kase, S.. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 18, 3279 (1974). Matovich, M. A,, Pearson, J. R. A,. Ind. Eng. Chem., Fundam., 8, 512 (1969).
Journal ArticleDOI
Velocity of large drops and bubbles in media of infinite or restricted extent
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method of calculating the terminal velocity of fluid particles moving in media of either infinite or restricted extent was proposed. But this method was not suitable for the case of liquid drops falling through gaseous media and gave only a rough approximation.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental investigation of the motion of long bubbles in inclined tubes
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative motion of single long air bubbles suspended in a constant liquid flow in inclined tubes has been studied experimentally, and a correlation of bubble and average liquid velocities, based on a least squares fit to the data is suggested.
