Integrated slug-flow optimization can mitigate flow problems in a wide range of both offshore and onshore operating conditions. Slug flow is one of the most common flow states in horizontal and ...

The knowledge of the slug flow characteristics is very important when designing pipelines and process equipment. When the intermittences typical in slug flow occurs, the fluctuations of the flow ...

Abstract: Gas-liquid slug flow widely exists in many industrial processes. The structural velocities of slug flow are important for fluid mechanics modeling, scientific researches, and process ...

Abstract: Slug flow is one of the most common flow patterns in horizontal gas-liquid two-phase flow. Structure detection of slug flow is of great significance for understanding the heat and mass ...

Modelling of the slug structure requires a new effort on fundamental research. To clarify some aspects of the horizontal slug flow, an experimental study of the behaviour of two isolated bubbles in a ...

In the flow distribution of oil and gas gathering and transportation system, the flow pattern, inertia force, gravity, and other factors will lead to uneven flow distribution of each outlet pipe, ...

Dense-phase pneumatic transportation of bulk materials in the form of slug flow has become a very important technology in industry. In order to understand the underlying mechanisms of slug flow, this ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...
