文摘
- •
We studied air-water flow with and without surfactants in 34–80 mm ID vertical pipes.
- •
The flow behaviour around the annular-churn transition depends on the diameter.
- •
Surfactants reduce the pressure gradient at low gas flow rates.
- •
Surfactants are less effective as the thickness of the film at the wall increases.
- •
Film thickness increases for smaller pipe diameters and larger liquid flow rates.
