... was granted access to use the data for improving the accuracy of the pressure drop predictions in LedaFlow. The experimental results showed that a key element for predicting high-rate low liquid loading flows accurately is to account for the droplets that deposit on the walls in the gas zone, creating a wall...

... and viscosities of the two fluids are highly separated. Additional parameters, such as interfacial forces, wetting characteristics, and phase inversion, represent important factors due to the effect on the flow pattern transitions, interface curvature and droplet formation. A number of complex geometrical...

... approach, one potentially avoids the use of often inaccurate entrainment and deposition models/correlations that are commonly used as boundary conditions for dispersion and droplet transport models. The details of the modelling approach are described in Skartlien et al. (9). The model was developed for gas...
