Abstract

A hydrodynamic model for prediction of pressure drop in two-phase flow through porous media has been developed. The model is based on flow regime determined on basis of visual observations during experiments. Expressions for particle-liquid, particle-gas and liquid-gas interfacial drag have been derived theoretically for the observed flow regime. The results are found to agree well with existing experimental data.
