Experimental study of two-phase flow in rough fractures
Description:
Two-phase (air-water) flow experiments were conducted in horizontal artificial fractures. The fractures were between glass plates (1 x 0.5 m) artificially roughened by gluing a layer of glass beads of Imm diameter. Three rough fractures were studied: one with the two surfaces in contact, and two without contact. Videotape observations revealed flow structures similar to those observed in two-phase flow in pipes, with structures depending upon the gas and liquid flow rates. The data of flow rate…
