Fundamentals of Two-Phase Flow Instabilities

  • Chapter
Two-Phase Flow Heat Exchangers

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 143))

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to present the physical mechanisms, behavior and methods of predictions of various types of two-phase flow instabilities in simple geometries. Classification of two-phase flow instabilities is summarized first. Available works on the fundamentals of two-phase flow instabilities in simple geometries are reviewed. Attempts are made to explain the causes and mechanisms of two-phase flow instabilities in physical terms. Systematically presented qualitative descriptions are justified by experimental and/or theoretical results available in the literature.
