Abstract
Measurements are presented of the variation of pressure caused by the passage of a stable or unstable slug in a horizontal gas-liquid flow. Good agreement is obtained with a model which considers the pressure c hange as the sum of contributions from a hydraulic jump in the front o f the slug, the wall drag in the body of the slug and a sudden change in the velocity of the liquid in the rear of the slug.
