Two-phase liquid-gas Taylor flow triggered by blocking-squeezing mechanism was studied with different junction angle h microchannels, i.e. 20 , 45 , 90 , 135 and 160 , at various liquid (ethanol) and gas (He) flow rates. We experimentally investigated the effects of flow rates and h on the gas bubb...
