STUDIES OF INSTABILITY OF TWO-PHASE FLOWS
IN PARALLEL CHANNELS

Experiments were carried out to determine boundaries 
of unsteady-state flows of a two-phase water-air mixture in three 
parallel vertical channels. It is shown that under certain conditions 
of parallel operation of individual channels self-sustained fluctuations 
of the pressure drop can appear and that interchannel interations 
can lead to unstable two-phase flow regimes with stable hydrodynamic 
characteristics of the individual channels and the whole system. It 
is shown that these fluctuations are caused by nonlinear characteristics 
of the two-phase flow.
