INVESTIGATION OF THE FLOW CHARACTERISTICS IN THE DISTURBANCE WAVE REGION OF ANNULAR FLOW (1ST REPORT, EFFECT OF TUBE DIAMETER).

Abstract

A computer-aided data reduction method was newly developed for determining principal flow parameters on disturbance wave and liquid film in gas-liquid two-phase annular flow. Hold-up data on magnetic tape were processed by computer to discriminate disturbance wave from base-film based on the proposed criteria and to evaluate flow parameters with substantial reduction of time and labor.
