Two Phase Flow Textbooks
Two Phase Flow Textbooks
(OP)
Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a good textbook or books that deal with two phase flow? Steam-condensate is what I am mainly looking for, but any gas-liquid flows are of interest to me. The fluid and thermo texts I have are a bit too basic, only touching on two phase flow without going into any great detail.
Thanks in advance.

I have that book (your link) and I consider it to be the best treatment of the subject matter when compared to anything else I have read.

In particular, it's the only textbook I have found that covers anomalous pressure drops in gas flow when a small amount of water is added.

Davefitz, I have done that, but nothing compares to a good textbook that can sit on my shelf and serve as a reference forever more.
