Development of a New Cfd-Based Unified Closure Relation for Taylor Bubble Velocity in Two-Phase Slug Flow in Pipes

Two-phase slug flow is a common occurrence in wells, riser pipes and pipelines of crude oil and natural gas systems. Current predictive tools for two-phase flow are based on either the mixture model or the mechanistic two-fluid model. The latter one, also called phenomenological model, r...
