Jiang, J. (author), Li, H. (author), Pourquie, M.J.B.M. (author), Ooms, G. (author), Henkes, R.A.W.M. (author)Core-annular flow is an efficient way of transporting viscous oil through a pipeline. A sharp increase in the pressure drop will occur when the oil waves at the water-oil interface touch the pipe wall. Depending on the oil and pipe material physical properties, the oil may adhere to the wall leading to fouling. Therefore, a necessary...journal article 2021
