Two-phase flow pattern, pressure drop, and void fraction in vertical transparent pipe of x m internal diameter y length is investigated experimentally. The rig designed to achieve the measurements drop for different combinations phase superficial velocities such that regimes encountered are bubbly, slug annular, which required a wide range water air velocities.

Although field observations of sudden spillway releases highlighted strong aeration of dam break wave flows, no study investigated these two-phase flow characteristics. New original experiments were conducted down a 24 m long stepped waterways. Dam break wave propagation showed an equivalent flow resistance similar to steady flow conditions (f ~ 0.05). Detailed unsteady air-water flow measureme...

In the present research, damage mechanisms during room temperature uniaxial tensile testing of two different modern high strength dual phase steels,DP780 and DP980, were studied. Detailed microstructural characterization of the strained and sectioned samples was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results revealed that interface decohesion, especially at the triple junctions of...
