Abstract
This chapter describes step-by-step procedure involved in solving the stratified flow model using three different methods. The three models presented in this chapter are the flat surface model, apparent rough surface model, and the double circle model. An illustrative example demonstrating the use of these three models in determining the void fraction and two-phase frictional pressure drop in stratified flow is also provided.
