Abstract: | To understand the fluid dynamic forces acting on a structure subjected to two-phase flow, it is essential to obtain detail
information on the characteristics of that flow. The distributions of flow parameters across a pipe, such as gas velocity,
liquid velocity and void fraction, may be assumed to follow a power law (Cheng 1998; Serizawa et al. 1975). The void fraction
profile is, for example, uniform for bubbly flow, whereas for slug flow it is more or less parabolic. In the present work,
the average values of momentum flux, slip ratio and other parameters were derived by integral analysis, based on approximate
power law distributions. A parametric study with various distributions was performed. The existing empirical formulations
for average void fraction, proposed by Wallis (1969), Zuber et al. (1967) and Ishii (1976), were considered in the derivation
of the present results. Notably, the unsteady momentum flux for slug flow was approximated. |
