Abstract
Mixture theory models for various two-phase flows have been developed by many authors. A recent text of Drew & Passman [1] discusses several of these and the issues involved. Here we are concerned with gas-liquid flows, having gas fractions of up to 90%, in vertical pipes of varying cross-section. The application is primarily to well-head flows of oil/water and gas, whose flow rates are now routinely measured by vertical Venturi-based flowmeters.
