Flow pattern transitions in vertical and upwardly inclined lines

TL;DR: In this paper, additional data has been obtained on flow pattern transitions during cocurrent gas-liquid flow in vertical and upwardly inclined lines and these data, together with those previously available in the literature, have enabled the development of improved dimensionless correlations for flow pattern boundaries.

A physically based correlation for drop size in annular flow

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a correlation for drop size in annular flow based on a mechanistic model and obtained the optimum values of four constants by a fit to measured data over a wide range of gas and liquid flow rates, physical properties and pipe diameter.

Measurement of time varying thickness of liquid film flowing with high speed gas flow by a constant electric current method (CECM)

TL;DR: In this paper, a constant electric current method (CECM) is proposed for conductance measurement. But the performance of the CECM is limited due to the fact that the output from the sensor electrode is independent of the location of gas phase, and the sensitivity of detecting the change in the hold-up is higher in the case of thinner film thickness.
