Experimental series of stratified gas-liquid two-phase flows had been carried out in a 26 mm i.d. transparent acrylic horizontal pipe. The study was aimed to determine the interfacial wave characteristics of the flow and to develop a high quality database of it. The longitudinal section of the pipe was used as the reference section of image recording. Air and water were used as the test fluids, flowing co-currently inside the pipe. The flow behavior was recorded by using a high-speed video camera around 5 m in axial distance from the inlet pipe to ensure the fully-developed stratified gas-liquid two-phase flow. To correct the refraction due to the acrylic pipe, a correction box was employed in the visualization test section. The group of stratified smooth and wavy two-phase flows were successfully recorded and classified on the basis of the visualization study from 24 couples of test condition of superficial water and air velocities. Digital image processing technique was then used to perform quantitative analysis and the results were used to evaluate the existing data. In the present study, the image processing technique was performed to obtain the liquid holdup distribution. The present results show satisfactory agreement with previous works., Comment: Proceedings of the 10th International Forum on Strategic Technology (IFOST 2015), 3 - 5 June 2015, Bali, Indonesia
