摘要: Abstract The effect of oil and water velocities, pipe diameter viscosity on the transition from stratified to non-stratified patterns was studied experimentally in horizontal oil–water flow. investigations were carried out a acrylic test section with 25.4 19 mm ID two viscosities (6.4 12 cP) as fluids. A high-speed video camera used study flow structures transition. At certain velocity, found transform into bubbly dual continuous flows superficial velocity increased for both diameters using 12 cP viscosity. disappear when 6.4 cP 25.4 mm pipe. This due low Eőtvős number. Transition occurred at lower up 0.21 m/s pipe, while Uso > 0.21 m/s, appeared oil. also influence between flows. required form drop formation decreased increased. maximum wave amplitude grow exponentially respect mixture velocity. experimental amplitudes agreed reasonably well critical model. Finally, it that none available models able predict present data
