Analysis of two-phase air-water annular flow in U-bends

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study of gas-liquid annular flow in horizontal 180 U-bends. The paper aims to study the effect of bend curvature radius and superficial gas velocity in the liquid film's behavior and annular flow characteristics. The study is divided into three...
