β¦ Synopsis
Experimental measurements have been made of the properties of falling liquid films of water with and without the addition of polymeric drag reducing agents. It was found that the presence of the drag reducing agent stabilised the film, delaying the disturbance wave transition to higher Reynolds numbers and decreasing the frequency of these waves. A small increase in wave velocity and base film thickness was also found.

An analytical solution relating the mass flow rate to the film thickness and other flow parameters have been developed for the general case of gas-liquid two-phase annular flow in a horizontal pipe line for power-law fluids. The equation developed reduces to the equation derived for the Newtonian fl
## Abstract Twoβphase, annular flow of gases and nonβNewtonian liquids through horizontal pipes is modeled, and a prediction method for pressure drop and gas volume fraction is proposed. The prediction method consists of a modification, based upon shear rate dependence of the apparent viscosity of
