English

Subject field(s)
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
CONT

A model is developed for the interfacial shear in upward, vertical, adiabatic, annular-mist flow. The model accounts for the momentum of both the droplet and film components and is applicable to the two-fluid approximation.

CONT

In annular mist flow, we assume that there is sufficient vorticity to force and hold the liquids to the walls of the tubing.

  • Geophysics
CONT

The reasons why water hammer, which can be so troublesome if water is present in a steam line or if steam is present in a hot water line, is apparently absent from pipes transmitting very wet mixtures is rather obscure: it may have something to do with the annular flow of the water, clinging to the pipe walls, rather than with "rivulet" flow when smaller quantities of water are present in a steam line.
