dc.description.abstract |
Gas–liquid annular two phase flow in pipes is important in the oil and gas,
nuclear and the process industries. It has been identified as one of the most
frequently encountered flow regimes and many models (empirical and
theoretical) for the film flow and droplet behaviour for example have been
developed since the 1950s. However, the behaviour in large pipes (those with
diameter greater than 100 mm) has not been fully explored. As a result, the two-
phase flow characteristics, data, and models specifically for such pipes are
scarce or non-existent such that those from smaller pipes are extrapolated for
use in design and operation. Many authors have cautioned against this
approach since multiphase pipe flow behaviour is different between small and
large pipes. For instance the typical slug flows seem not to occur in vertical
upwards flows when the pipe diameter exceeds 100 mm. It is therefore
imperative that theoretical models and empirical correlations for such large
diameter pipes are specifically developed.
