We are proud to announce that our group has recently published a new paper in the Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science journal, entitled “Experimental study of influence of liquid viscosity in horizontal slug flow”. The work discusses the gas-liquid two-phase slug flow in horizontal pipes with different liquid viscosities.
Detachment of elongated bubble from pipe occurs for smaller Froude numbers as viscosity increases. One of the highlights of this study is the appearance of the plunging jets for Weber number close to and greater than 400.
This work is part of an extensive research project conducted by the NUEM group concerning slug flow characterization and is based on Mrs. Bruna Patricia Naidek Master dissertation advised by Prof. Rigoberto Morales. This research is financially supported by PETROBRAS.
The paper is available online at the Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science webpage at the following link (doi):

Congratulations to Bruna Patricia Naidek, Marco Germano Conte, Cristiane Cozin, Eduardo Nunes dos Santos, Hendy Rodrigues, Roberto Junior, Marco Jose da Silva and Rigoberto Morales!
