Summary:

A direct theoretical analysis was undertaken of upward annular two-phase flow. Inadequacies in experimertal correlations indicate that the presert theoretical models are either in error or are incomplete. Application was made of modern knowledge in the fields of boundary layer theory and film condensation. It was established that correlations and analytical methods that superimpose force fields, such as that of gravity, on the flow result in unrealistic patterns for flow distribution, fluid shear, and local pressure drop. Sanccess with such methods may be attributed to grossly compensating errors. The analysis was carried to the point of determination of the interface wave phenomenon. A farther program of investigation of wave phenomenon for inclinations from horizortal to vertical is recommended. (auth)
