Abstract
An expression is obtained for void fraction in two-phase flow based upon a simple physical model. The model assumes an annular flow regime with a liquid phase and a homogeneous mixture phase flowing with equal dynamic head. Excellent correlation is obtained with a wide range of experimental data, indicating a significant improvement over current methods.Keywords
