We study a high-viscosity two-phase flow through an analysis of the corresponding pressure signals. In particular, we investigate the flow of a glycerin–air mixture moving through a horizontal pipeline with a U-section installed midway along the pipe. Different combinations of liquid and air mass flow rates are experimentally tested. Then, we examine the moments of the statistical distributions obtained from the resulting pressure time series, in order to highlight the significant dynamical traits of the flow. Finally, we propose a novel correlation with two dimensionless parameters: the Euler number and a mass-flow-rate ratio to predict the pressure gradient in high-viscosity two-phase flow. Distinctive variations of the pressure gradients are observed in each section of the pipeline, which suggest that the local flow dynamics must not be disregarded in favor of global considerations.

It is significant to make researches on drag reduction in two-phase transport pipeline because two-phase flow has high energy dissipation. API X 52 steel pipe with diameter of 40mm is used in this paper to simulate pipeline with different inclination geometry including horizontal, up-inclined and vertical sections. The up-inclined section has an inclination angle of eight degree. Experiments and theoretical analysis are carried out to study the drag reduction characteristics of gas-liquid two-phase flow in these three sections. The drag reducing agents used here is polyacrylamide. It is found that two-phase drag reduction varies with pipe inclination geometry. The largest drag reduction efficiency occurs in horizontal pipes and which is up to seventy percent. Drag reduction efficiency in up-inclined section is up to sixty percent. Drag reduction in vertical section is the lowest and which can be up to about thirty percent. A mechanistic drag reduction model is proposed to predict drag reduction in gas-liquid two-phase flow. The results predicted are in good agreement with the experiment data.

The KORSAR best estimate computer code has been developed at NITI since 1996. It is designed to numerically simulate transient and accident conditions in VVER-type reactors /1/. From 1999 and on, the code development activity has been coordinated by the Center for Computer Code Development under Russia’s Minatom.
