... for pressure forces are obtained. Results of the analysis indicates that Stokes velocity is an indispensable parameter and is dependent on parameters such as channel thickness (height), viscosity of the fluid, pressure gradient driven the fluid and Reynolds number corresponding to the channel thickness...

... Abstract During multiphase flow, there is a variation of the physical distribution of the phases within the conduit leading to different flow regimes and consequently variation in the pressure gradient along with the flow regime, hence flow parameter is of vital importance in the prediction...

... Abstract Pressure gradient (PG) is vital in the design/operation of process equipment e.g. in determining pumping requirements and has direct effect on capital and running costs. Here, we report a gas–liquid experimental study using a large diameter pipeline system. Pressure was measured at two...
