Experimental Study on the Slugging Characteristics of Gas-Liquid Slug Flow in Horizontal Pipes. [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2022 This study investigates the slugging characteristics of the gas-liquid slug flow interface in horizontal pipes. Using air and water as the experimental media, an experimental system was established using double-parallel conductance probes in a pipe with an inner diameter of 5 cm.

Slug Flow Hydrodynamics Modeling for Gas–Liquid Two-Phase Flow in a Pipe
Energies, 2022 Gas–liquid flow in a pipeline is a very common. Slug two-phase flow is dominated in the case of slightly upward flow (+0.25°) and considered to be the comprehensive flow configuration, and can be in close contact with all the other flow patterns.
