Two-phase flow, boiling and condensation in conventional and miniature systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals and applications of flow and heat transfer in conventional and miniature systems is provided, providing a comprehensive review of single-phase flow fundamentals and interfacial phenomena, detailed and clear discussion is provided on a range of topics, including two-phase hydrodynamics and flow regimes, mathematical modeling of gas-liquid 2-phase flows, pool and flow boiling, flow and boiling in mini and microchannels, external and internal-flow condensation with and without noncondensables, condensation in small flow passages, and two-

A critical review of the flooding literature

TL;DR: In the absence of electromagnetic force fields, thermocapillary effects or concentration-capillary effects, countercurrent flow can be sustained only as a result of the difference in the gravitational force per unit volume on the gas and on the liquid as discussed by the authors.

Transient CO2 leakage and injection in wellbore‐reservoir systems for geologic carbon sequestration

TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled wellbore and reservoir model for simulating the dynamics of CO2 injection and leakage through wellbores is developed, and applied to situations relevant to geologic CO2 storage involving upward flow (e.g. leakage) and downward flow (injection).
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison between flooding correlations and experimental flooding data for gas-liquid flow in vertical circular tubes

TL;DR: In this article, the compilation of a data bank containing 2762 experimental flooding data points and the use of this data bank to test a total of 22 flooding correlations were used to predict the most accurate prediction of flooding conditions.

Analytical solution for two-phase flow in a wellbore using the drift-flux model

TL;DR: In this article, the drift flux conceptual model is used to describe the steady-state behavior of two-phase flow in the wellbore, including profiles of phase saturation, phase velocities and pressure gradients, as affected by the total mass flow rate, phase mass fraction, and drift velocity.

Air-water countercurrent annular flow

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of tube end geometries on measured countercurrent fluxes, liquid fraction, and pressure gradients, and analogies between countercurrent gas-liquid flow and other more familiar flows in internal geometry are indicated.

Effect of scale on two-phase countercurrent flow flooding. Final report, July 1977-June 1978

TL;DR: In this article, a force balance on a liquid film leads to a correlation, which predicts the flooding behavior in most cases satisfactorily, which can be represented by the Wallis correlation.
