Notes:
An experimental study was made in a cocurrent vertical mercury-nitrogen flow of local parameters, including local liquid velocity and gas fraction. In Part I the pertinent quantities are carefully defined and power-law continuity expressions derived. A description is given of the apparatus, including a simple local liquid velocity probe. In Part II experimental velocity and void profiles are given for the mercury-nitrogen flow. The regime is slug flow, but the slugs are not axisymmetrical, on account of the nonwetted walls. Intensities of density and liquid velocity fluctuations are computed for the first time and a comparison made with Levy's mixing-length theory.
