Flow in geothermal wells. Part 4: Transition criteria for two-phase flow patterns
Abstract
Detailed considerations justifying the criteria for transitions between flow patterns are presented. The following are covered: transition from bubble to plug (or slug) flow, transition from plug flow to froth flow, transition from froth to annular mist flow, and model comparisons.
