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:
, with the limit 
[2]
The gas holdup:
Discussion
Griffith correlation creates a hook at VLP curve calculated by Hagedorn and Brown.
Nomenclature
= pipe diameter, ft
= gas holdup factor, dimensionless
= bubble-slug boundary, dimensionless
= gas velocity, ft/sec
= liquid velocity, ft/sec
= 0.8, slip velocity (difference between average gas and liquid velocities), ft/sec
