文摘In order to study the pressure characteristics of slug flow in horizontal curved tubes,two kinds of curved tubes with central angle 45° and 90° respectively are studied,of which are with 0. 5m circumference and 26 mm inner diameter are used.

The results of experiment show that the pressure characteristics of slug flow in curved tubes have periodic fluctuations.
