In this article, two-phase slug regime in a duct with rectangular cross-section is investigated numerically, using the volume of fluid (VOF) method. Equations of mass, momentum and advection of volume fraction are solved accompanying k-∈ realizable turbulence equations. To ensure the creditability, numerical results have been compared with experimental results using same geometry. With occurrence of instability in the entrance of duct, Kelvin-Helmholtz condition satisfies and with increasing instability, slug phenomenon occurs. With closing the cross-section of duct, slug causes pressure gradient in it. Trapped air behind a slug transfers the momentum and increases the kinetic energy of slug. In this research the kinetic energy of a slug is investigated.
