An investigation on phase distribution in air-water two-phase flow in horizontal circular channel was conducted by using the double-sensor resistivity probe. The variations of phase distribution with variations of gas and liquid volumetric fluxes were analyzed and the present data were compared with some of other researcher's data and existing models. It was found there exists more complicated phase distribution pattern in horizontal flow system than in vertical flow. The radial local void fraction profiles are similar at the same measurement angle with various gas and liquid flow rates. However, an asymmetric profile can be observed at a given slice of the pipe cross-section.
