Summary on Grant Application Form
The work proposed is concerned with flow pattern in vertical upwards gasliquid flow. The ability to predict such flow patterns is an important precursor to improved (phenomenological) modelling of two-phase flow. Specifically, it is proposed to study the bubble/slug, slug/churn and annular/wispy annular transitions. In each of these cases, there are large uncertainties in current methods. The programme suggested will be a joint one between Oxford University, Nottingham University and Imperial College.
