Multiphase Science and Technology (MST) publishes novel research work covering all aspects of multiphase systems. The scope of MST encompasses theoretical concepts, physical modeling, experimental techniques, and numerical simulations. Main research areas include but are not limited to mechanics of interfaces, internal flows, external flows, multiphase flow modeling, measuring techniques, micro-and nano-fluidics, and multiphase bio-systems.MST accepts the following manuscripts for publication: Short communications, which should not exceed 4 pages starting with a brief abstract. These communications should not contain section headings and should be accompanied by a statement of justification for the reason for rapid publication in the form of a covering letter to the Editor. Full-length papers of original, high-quality research:The format of the full papers should start with a brief abstract followed by an introduction section; followed by sections containing results and discussion, conclusions, references, and appendices if necessary. Highlights and Reviews: "Highlight" papers give authors the opportunity to highlight the importance of a new topic of particular interest to the community by discussing its importance, challenges that it faces, and identify future research opportunities. Authors could also use this opportunity to highlight growing/emerging areas in multiphase science. These papers should not contain new research and should not exceed 6 pages in MST format; these articles are normally published via invitation by the Editorial Board. Review papers are normally published via invitation by the Editorial Board and should correspond to critical reviews and/or tutorial papers on a broad subject. Position Papers: These are papers on 'hot' research themes of topical interest. These papers may be invited by the Editorial Board or unsolicited, have a similar format to that of the Letter/Brief communications (see above) and should not exceed 4 pages in length. The author(s) of these papers have an opportunity to communicate their personal opinion (which could be speculative and controversial) on a particular topic, and/or comment on a recent paper in MST; in the latter case, the authors of the relevant paper will be given the opportunity to respond to these comments in the same issue. Special Issues: There may be scope to dedicate an entire issue to the publication of several, full-length papers on a given topic of particular interest to the community. The publication of these issues follows a detailed statement of justification for the dedication of an entire MST issue for one topic. Photo and Video Gallery: A gallery photos and videos of multiphase flow experiments or simulations, selected from research published in MST, will be published on the MST website once a year.

Experimental Studies on Velocities of Gas- And Solid-Phases in Gas-Liquid-Solid Three-Phase Flow for Subsea Resource Productions

et al. 2023

Subsea minerals and methane hydrates have been found in the deep-sea within Japan's exclusive economic zone, but they have not been commercialized owing to technical issues. Gas-lift pumping is a promising technique for transporting subsea minerals and methane hydrates from the seafloor to the surface. However, the internal flow within the pipes of a gas-lift pumping system often becomes a three-phase flow, so a method is needed for calculating the velocity of each phase. We reviewed previous studies on the velocities of each phase in two- and three-phase flows, which we used to propose correlations for the velocities of the gas and solid phases.We then conducted experiments on gas-liquid two-phase and gas-liquid-solid three-phase flows through transparent polyvinyl chloride pipes using glass beads as solid particles. The experimental data suggests that the presence of the solid phase has little influence on the distribution parameters and drift velocity. In addition, the velocity of the liquid phase has a large influence on the velocity of the solid phase for the slug flow, and the velocity of the gas phase has a large influence on the velocity of the solid phase for the annular flow. We use the proposed correlations to calculate the velocities of each phase in a threephase flow and compare the results with the experimental data. The comparison shows that the proposed correlations can accurately calculate the velocities of the gas and solid phases.
