Type of article: Article

Summary

Comparisons of the predicted results between the homogeneous and the separated flow models, are presented, together with experimental results from previous workers. The results show that the separated flow model using the Miropolski's slip ratio combined with Lin's frictional pressure-gradient correlations gives a better prediction compared to the homogeneous flow model.
