✦ Synopsis

A phenomenological, pore-scale, hydrodynamic model is developed for representation of the uniform, two-phase, gas-liquid cocurrent flow in the low interaction regime in trickle bed reactors. The model provides improved predictions for both the pressure drop and liquid holdup using the parameters obtained exclusively porn single phase f!ow data. In addition, a new criterion for prediction of trickle to pulsing flow regime transition is developed based on Kapitza's (1948) work on iaminarfilm stability.

Agreement with available data is good.
