“…So far, models in the literature were tested only in experiments with water (dynamic viscosity m L 1) = 0.001 Pa s) or liquids with viscosities lower than 0.05 Pa s, e.g., by Friedel [1] and Spedding et al [2]. The fluids in the examples given above, however, can have viscosities of up to 100 Pa s. For this reason, experiments in a vertical pipe of D = 54.5 mm inner diameter were performed with nitrogen and aqueous Luviskol (polyvinylpyrrolidone, PVP) solutions as model fluids with viscosities of up to 7 Pa s.…”
