A comprehensive review of the studies of gas-liquid two-phase flow patterns and flow-
pattern maps at adiabatic and diabatic conditions is presented in this paper. Especially …

Publisher Summary Slug flow is a highly complex type of flow with an unsteady nature. The
prediction of pressure drop, heat, and mass transfer for such flow is often considered a …

A mechanistic approach to the prediction of hydrodynamic slug initiation, growth and
subsequent development into continuous slug flow in pipelines is presented. The approach …

The pressure drop along a slug unit is usually attributed to the sum of the frictional and
gravitational losses along the liquid slug and to the acceleration of the slow moving liquid in …

A numerical thermal multiphase wellbore flow model is developed and applied. The
formulation entails one-dimensional spatial (axial) and temporal discretizations and includes …

When slugs flow in a hilly terrain pipeline that contains sections of different inclination they
undergo a change of length as the slugs move from section to section. In addition, slugs can …

In order to understand the behaviour of two-phase flow in inclined pipes, an extensive
programme of work has been undertaken using the Inclinable Facility in the laboratories of …

A review of the diagnostical methods of the flow patterns which largely determine the
performance of gas—liquid systems encountered widely in chemical engineering practice is …

Slug flow is a very common occurrence in gas–liquid two-phase flow. Usually, it is an
unfavorable flow pattern due to its unsteady nature, intermittency and high-pressure drop …

Taylor bubble velocity in slug flow is a closure relation which significantly affects the
prediction of liquid holdup (or void fraction) and pressure gradient in mechanistic models of …
