An Explicit Analytical Solution for Transient Two-Phase Flow in Inclined Fluid Transmission Lines
Due to the complex nonlinearity characteristics, analytical modeling of compressible flow in inclined transmission lines remains a challenge. This paper proposes an analytical model for one-dimensional flow of a two-phase gas-liquid fluid in inclined ...

Hydrodynamics in a cocurrent gas-liquid trickle bed at elevated pressures [PDF]
Data on design and operation of trickle beds at elevated pressures are scarce. In this study the influence of the gas density on the liquid holdup, the pressure drop, and the transition between trickle and pulse flow has been investigated in a tricklebed
