Abstract
Whilst there are numerous experimental, theoretical and computational studies of Taylor flow in microchannels, the intermittent slug–annular regime has largely been neglected. In this paper time-resolved micro-PIV data are collected and used to study the flow characteristics of a gas–liquid system for flow regimes spanning Taylor to annular flow. The experimental work used a 1.73 mm diameter channel with water and nitrogen as the working fluids, for gas and liquid superficial velocity ranges of 0.35–8.65 m s−1 (40
