Abstract
⺠An oil-gas-water three-phase flow was investigated in vertical pipes. ⺠Both average in situ phase fraction and pressure gradient were measured. ⺠Pressure gradient is higher than oil-water flow around the phase inversion region. ⺠In situ gas fraction reached to its lowest value at the phase inversion point. ⺠Methods were evaluated to predict the pressure gradient of vertical bubbly flow.
