A general classifications di!ide two-phase flow into
four groups depending on the mi#tures of phases in
the flow. The four groups are the flow of gas-
liquid, gas-solid, liquid-solid and immiscible liquid-
liquid mi#tures. The last case is technically not a
two-phase mi#ture, it is rather a single phase two-
component flow, but for all practical purposes it
can be considered as a two-phase mi#ture.
Two-Phase Flow )egimes
The description of two-phase flow in tubes is
complicated by the e#istence of an interface
between the two-phases. For gas /liquid two-
phase flow the interface e#ists in a wide !ariety of
forms, depending on the flow rates and physical
properties of the phases, and also on the
geometry and orientation of the tube.
The different interfacial structures are called
flow patterns or flow regimes.
There are !arious flow patterns common in two-
phase flow system, each ha!ing different
characteristics and associated pressure drops. A
number of different methods ha!e been proposed
for the recognition of flow patterns, ranging from
!isual obser!ation to characteristic fluctuation in
hold up.

Two Phase Flow )egimes apping
apping of flow patterns that occur in pipe flow
has always been a popular means of describing the
beha!iors of flow at different conditions. The
superficial !elocity of the gas and liquid are usually
put on the two different a#es, and supply an
efficient method of comparing and contrasting the
effects of different flow conditions.
