Brief

The Griffith correlation [1] is an empirical correlation which defines:

  • The boundary between the bubble and slug flow[2]
  • The void fraction of gas in bubble flow - gas hold up Hg[2]

Math & Physics

The bubble flow exist when:

 \frac{v_g}{v_g + v_L} < L_B [3]
 L_B = 1.071 - 0.2218 \frac{(v_g+v_L)^2}{D}, with the limit  L_B \geqslant 0.13 [2]

The gas holdup:

 H_g = \frac{1}{2}\ \left ( 1 + \frac{v_g+v_L}{v_s} - \sqrt{ \left ( 1 + \frac{v_g+v_L}{v_s} \right )^2 - 4 \frac{v_g}{v_s}}   \right ) [2]

Discussion

Griffith correlation adds a hook to the originally straight Hagedorn and Brown VLP curve.

Nomenclature

 D = pipe diameter, ft
 H_g = gas holdup factor, dimensionless
 L_B = bubble-slug boundary, dimensionless
 v_g = gas velocity, ft/sec
 v_L = liquid velocity, ft/sec
 v_s = 0.8, slip velocity (difference between average gas and liquid velocities), ft/sec
