TWO PHASE FLOW--4. HERE'S WHY UNSTEADY GAS-LIQUID FLOW OCCURS

Types of flow situations that may lead to unsteady gas-liquid flow include those involving change in flow patterns, erratic bubble nucleation, transitions between film and nucleate boiling, thermal-acoustic oscillations, unsteady heat input, and initial introduction of a cold cryogenic fluid by large variations in pressure and flow rates; several of these factors may be present simultaneously. Analysis involves heat transfer and thermo-dynamic considerations and momentum and mass-conservation principles.
