Instability of stratified two-fluid flow in a Venturi flow meter

In this dissertation the subject of stability of stratified two-fluid flows in an inclined channel is examined and modelled using classical fluid dynamics. The problem is motivated by the consideration of oil-water flows through a Venturi flow meter in the oil industry. A background to both invisc...
