DIFFUSIONAL ANALYSIS OF INTERMITTENT TWO-PHASE FLOW TRANSITIONS
Massimiliano Giona, Alessandro Paglianti, Alfredo Soldati · Fractals · 1994
Diffusional analysis is employed to characterize two-phase flow regime transitions in horizontal pipes. The scaling analysis of the mean square displacement [Formula: see text] associated with the diffusional process driven by density fluctuations proves to be an efficient method for two-phase regime identification. Intermittent flow regime transitions are discussed and compared with theoretical and semiempirical models.
