This paper presents the results of analyses of the impact of heat transfer conditions on the hydrodynamics of downward co-current annular flow in vertical tubes of very viscous liquid and gas. The research was conducted within the range of gas velocities of 0–30.0 m/s and liquid velocities of 0.001–0.254 m/s, while the viscosity was in the unprecedented range of 0.046–3.5 Pas. The research demonstrates that the volume and nature of the liquid waves with various amplitudes and frequencies arising on the surface of the film are relative to the flow rate and viscosity of the gas phase. At the same time, we found that, under the condition of liquid cooling, an increase in viscosity resulted in the formation of a smooth interface whereas, under the conditions where the liquid is heated at the end of the channel section, a greater number of capillary waves were formed. This research resulted in the development of new dependencies which take into account the influence of selected thermal and flow parameters (including mass fraction) on the values of volumes specific to very viscous liquid film flows. These dependencies improve the accuracy of calculation by 8–10% and are fully applicable to the description of the performance of an apparatus with a hydraulically generated liquid film.
