✦ Synopsis

This paper presents the results of a numerical experiment on the influence of the void fraction profile on the distribution parameter C 0 in a horizontal bubbly two-phase flow. It was shown that for non-symmetric void fraction profiles, which occur normally in horizontal flows, the distribution parameter may be less than 1. In this case, the ratio of the volumetric flow quality β to the average void fraction α can also be less than 1.
