✦ Synopsis

A model is proposed for cocurrent gas liquid flow through a packed bed. For a given packing, gas and liquid flow rates, we proposed that (i) liquid holdup is a function only of pressure gradient and liquid flow rate and (ii) pressure gradient is only a function of liquid holdup and gas flow rate. Equations are presented which permit the prediction of pressure gradient and liquid holdup for cocurrent upflow and cocurrent downflow in a packed bed. Predictions from the model are shown to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental observations of Turpin and Huntington.

The time-varying fluid mechanics of the pulse flow regime are studied by the use of continuous pressure measurements. It is found that pulses can occur either regularly or intermittently and the time period between pulses scales inversely with a modified Reynolds number. A simple physical basis for
