TLDR
In this article, an improved flooding correlation is proposed which accurately correlates the data of three previous investigations, and the results clearly show that some flooding data had been misinterpreted in the past.

Countercurrent gas–liquid flow in inclined and vertical ducts — I: Flow patterns, pressure drop characteristics and flooding

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation into adiabatic gas-liquid counterflow in inclined and vertical rectangular ducts with a square-edged gas inlet is conducted, where water, methanol, propanol, air, argon, helium and hydrogen are used as working fluids.

Countercurrent gas–liquid flow in inclined and vertical ducts — II: The validity of the Froude–Ohnesorge number correlation for flooding

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a correlation method consisting of a combination of the phase Froude numbers and the Ohnesorge number, which succeeded in correlating the data of two previous investigations.

Experimental constraints on the outgassing dynamics of basaltic magmas

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the dynamics of separated two-phase flow of basaltic magmas in cylindrical conduits and calculated vesicularity and pressure gradient for a range of gas superficial velocities (volume flow rates/pipe area, 10−2-102 m/s).

Falling film and flooding phenomena in small diameter vertical tubes: The influence of liquid properties

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of liquid properties on flooding in small diameter vertical tubes is studied for various liquids with the aim to contribute to the interpretation of flooding mechanisms in such geometries.

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.

Flooding velocity in a counter-current annular two-phase flow

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical equation was derived by dealing with the instability problem of such waves and an experimental correlation was worked out on the basis of the derived theoretical equation and experimental data.

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.

Behaviour of liquid films and flooding in counter-current two-phase flow—Part 1. Flow in circular tubes

TL;DR: In this paper, experimental results were presented on the flooding gas velocity in tubes over a wide range of parameters, including tube diameter, tube length, liquid flow rate, liquid viscosity and surface tension.
