Abstract
In many annular two-phase gas–liquid flows, large disturbance waves propagate liquid mass. These waves are important for modeling of gas-to-liquid momentum transfer and liquid film behavior. High-speed videos of vertical upflow have been analyzed to extract individual and average wave data. Two types of structures, coherent waves and piece waves, have been identified in these flows. Velocities, lengths, and temporal spacings of individual waves and average velocities, lengths, frequencies, and intermittencies have been studied as functions of both gas and liquid flow rates. Velocity and frequency increase with liquid and gas flow rates, length decreases with increasing gas flow and increases with increasing liquid flow, and intermittency is predominantly an increasing function of liquid flow.
