Summary The drift velocity of a gas bubble penetrating into a stagnant liquid is investigated experimentally in this paper. It is part of the translational slug velocity. The existing equations for the drift velocity are either developed by using the results of Benjamin (1968) analysis assuming inviscid fluid flow or correlated using air/water data. Effects of surface tension and viscosity usually are neglected. However, the drift velocity is expected to be affected by high oil viscosity. In this study, the work of Gokcal et al. (2009) has been extended for different pipe diameters and viscosity range. The effects of high oil viscosity and pipe diameter on drift velocity for horizontal and upward-inclined pipes are investigated. The experiments are performed on a flow loop with a test section with 50.8-, 76.2-, and 152.4-mm inside diameter (ID) for inclination angles of 0 to 90°. Water and viscous oil are used as test fluids. New correlation for drift velocity in horizontal pipes of different diameters and liquid viscosities is developed on the basis of experimental data. A new drift-velocity model/approach are proposed for high oil viscosity, valid for inclined pipes inclined from horizontal to vertical. The proposed comprehensive closure relationships are expected to improve the performance of two-phase-flow models for high-viscosity oils in the slug flow regime.
