Nonlinear effects on interfacial wave growth into slug flow

[摘要] (cont.) Direct comparisons between the numerical simulations and the multiple scale analytic solutions are made. Excellent agreement is found between the two methods. The numerical simulations are also compared against existing laboratory experiments. Good agreement between them is observed. The findings in this study improve the understanding of the underlying mechanisms which can cause short waves to evolve into large amplitude liquid slugs through nonlinear wave-wave interactions.
