We invite you all to check out the new paper in the Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science journal, entitled “Experimental slug flow dissipation analysis in pipes with horizontal to inclined downward direction change”. The work discusses the gas-liquid two-phase slug flow in ducts with slight direction changes. The slug flow tends to modify itself by changing its features or even transitioning to another flow pattern with the presence of direction changes and slight flow inclinations in the pipes. One of the highlights of this study is the three slug dissipation phenomena, namely, gas plug, stratification, and wave flooding characterization. This work is part of an extensive research project conducted by the NUEM group concerning slug flow characterization and is based on Mr. Hedilberto Barros’s Master dissertation advised by Prof. Rigoberto Morales. This research is financially supported by PETROBRAS.
Congratulations to Hedilberto Barros, Rômulo Rodrigues, Rafael Alves, Cristiane Cozin, Hendy Rodrigues, Roberto Fonseca, Marco da Silva, Moisés Marcelino Neto and Rigoberto Morales!
