Experiments were conducted with saturated superfluid helium. Two-phase co-current stratified flow was circulated through a 40 mm inner diameter, 86 m long heated tube, with a slope of 1.4%. Mass flow rates and temperatures ranged between 1.5 and 6.3 g s-l, and 1.8 and 2 K, respectively. A full descr

โฆ Synopsis
This paper presents the physical basis of a one-dimensional two-fluid stratified flow model, adapted for adiabatic or diabatic superfluid helium flow. Closure relationships for wall shear stresses and inter-facial momentum transfer are used to predict the total pressure losses and the void fraction along the line. The numerical resolution is based on a finite difference scheme. The influence of each term in the momentum equations is discussed. Finally, the model has been verified through comparisons with available experimental data'.
