... data for high viscosity liquid which has a viscosity above 1.0 Pa s might be still scarce. In the present work, slug frequency in high viscosity liquid and gas slug flows is studied. Experiments are performed in 0.026 m ID and 0.074 m ID horizontal pipes with a liquid viscosity range of 1.0 Pa s to 7.5...

... flow behaviour within a 10 inch horizontal pipe was modelled using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) considering the free surface flow and the instability of the interfacial area. A very promising qualitative agreement has been obtained in comparison with the experimental observations for a stratified...

... ABSTRACT New dimensionless parameters and a simplified correlation to predict pressure drop during the gas-liquid flow in horizontal pipes are proposed. The new equation fits the published data very well. The proposed power law equation can correlate the stratified-smooth, stratified-wavy...

... ABSTRACT A new theoretical model has been developed for determining flow regime transitions in two-phase gas-liquid flow in horizontal pipes. The theoretical model provides a physical explanation for the development of the perturbed interface of the stratified flow into a roll wave or slug...
