A model which predicts liquid holdup (ɛTPL), pressure gradient and frictional multiplier (ϕL) for non-Newtonian liquid–gas flow with different interfacial shapes is presented. The interfacial shape is calculated by solving the Young–Laplace equation, while the non-Newtonian liquid is a power-law she...
