Abstract

A linear stability analysis, which takes into account the shear stresses, is presented and applied to the stability of stratified flow at various angles of inclinations. A combined model which uses the viscous and the inviscid Kelvin-Helmholtz stability analyses is suggested for the determination of the transition to slug and annular flows. The current results are compared with the simpler Taitel and Dukler model.
