Li, H. (author)When a very viscous liquid (like oil) and a far less viscous liquid (like water) both flow through a pipeline, under certain conditions, the more viscous liquid will migrate to the core of the pipe, while being surrounded by an annulus with the less viscous liquid. This typical flow pattern, referred to as core-annular flow (CAF), was discovered...doctoral thesis 2023
