Abstract: Vertically downward slug flow of air-water mixtures was experimentally investigated in circular pipes of diameter D = 2.60, 10.16, and 14.0 cm. The terminal velocity of descending, stationary, ...

Abstract: The simple model of pressure pulse propagation in slug flow proposed by Henry, Grolmes, and Fauske has been extended by considering wave reflection and wave transmission at gas-liquid interfaces. ...

Abstract: This paper describes the relationship between hydraulic losses and secondary flow within sinuous conduits with complicated bends. It has been found that the nature of secondary flow present in ...

Abstract: The diagnostic facilities of the cross power spectrum and the coherence function have been employed to enhance the identification of not only the inception of cavitation, but also its level. ...

Abstract: Cavitation has been investigated in directional control valves in order to identify damage mechanisms characteristic of components of aircraft hydraulic systems. Tests have been conducted in a ...

Abstract: Flow of a gas-liquid mixture in a piping system may be treated as a pseudo-fluid flow if the mixture is homogeneous and the void fraction is small. The governing equations for such flows ...
