Abstract

Abstract-Liquid holdup is one of the important parameters in the calculation of multiphase flow , annular flow is a common flow regime in the condensating natural gas pipeline. In this paper, based the momentum equation, combined with pig experimental data of gas-liquid two-phase annular flow in large scale loop, calculated the theoretical liquid holdup. The calculated theoretical data and experimental date were compared and analyzed, the results showed that theory and experiment had a good agreement, thus the experimental and theoretical calculation methods on liquid holdup of gas-liquid two-phase annular flow phase were established.
