...Second, due to the fact that the diameter of the present study’s test section is above the “large diameter” cutoff [10], the flow system itself can be assumed to closely model a flat plate as opposed to a round duct....
[...]
...It has been pointed out in the literature survey that there is an associated di erential pressure drop in an experimental test section on the onset of flooding [10]....
[...]
...Vijayan [10] attempted to reconcile this discrepancy by conducting similar experiments on several different pipe diameters....
[...]
...It will be shown later that there is indeed a difference in “large” and “small” diameter pipes when flooding is considered [10], [11]....
[...]
...Furthermore, Vijayan’s conclusions are that any diameter above this threshold will reach flooding under similar conditions....

...Richter (1981) and Jayanti et al. (1996) suggested, based on dierent arguments, that the Wallis-type correlation would work well in small diameter tubes and the Kutateladze-type in large diameter tubes....

...For example, McQuillan et al. (1985) and Govan et al. (1991) , among others, used slight depressurization , of the order of 0.05 bar, to induce ¯ooding while others such as Dukler and Smith (1982) and Zabaras and Dukler (1988) induced ¯ooding by gradually increasing the air ¯ow rate....

...It is generally believed (Suzuki and Ueda, 1977; McQuillan et al., 1985; Govan et al., 1991) that ¯ooding occurs when large waves, formed near the liquid outlet, are swept upwards by the gas phase....

...In some cases, this discrepancy can be attributed to the inlet and outlet conditions for the gas and liquid phases (Govan et al., 1991), however, the experiments of International Journal of Multiphase Flow 27 (2001) 797±816 www.elsevier.com/locate/ijmul¯ow Biage (1989) showed that even with smooth…...

...The ®rst mechanism, namely, upward transport of ring-type waves, has been observed, among others, by Suzuki and Ueda (1977), McQuillan et al. (1985) and Govan et al. (1991)....

...As a modi®cation to (ii) above, Govan et al. (1991) de®ned ¯ooding as the point at which liquid appeared (and not necessarily carried away by the gas stream) above the liquid injection point....
