Abstract

In this study the flow pattern prediction method developed by Taitel and Dukler, 1976 in the mid 70’s, later modified by Barnea and coworkers, 1983, is updated in order to predict flow pattern transitions in micro-scale channels (diameters smaller than 3mm). Surface tension and contact angle effects, negligible in larger tubes, were introduced in the extended method by including the Eötvos and Weber numbers. The proposed method seems to work relatively well based on comparisons against a broad database for air-water flow in round channels from 10 independent laboratories.
