Abstract
The shape of a Taylor bubble in a vertical downward slug flow in a pip e is studied. The phase distribution in the Taylor bubble region is in vestigated by still pictures and video film. The shape of the Taylor b ubble is reported for different condition. These experimental results consists of the position of the interface x(r) obtained using image pr ocessing and represents the new view to the shape of the Taylor Bubble and gives some light on the basic phenomena for the hydrodynamics of the two-phase slug flow.
