✦ Synopsis

In order to clarify the behavior of ephemeral waves, flow parameters of ephemeral waves, such as the number and residence zone lengths per unit axial length, mean values and standard deviations of wave velocity, width, and maximum holdup, were determined using a wave-vein analysis in upward huge wave flow and annular flow. The mean values of wave velocities, widths, and maximum holdups of ephemeral waves are compared with those of liquid lumps having main wave-veins, and the differences in the parameters between those liquid lumps are discussed. Furthermore, the parameters of both active ephemeral waves and inactive ephemeral waves are determined, and the characteristics in the flow parameters of two types of ephemeral waves are presented.
