The interfacial wave patterns and their transition charaeteristics in gas-liquid two-phase flow through rectangular and circular horizontal conduits are investigated. The interfacial waves were traced and recorded by using conductance probes. With the experimental observation and the analysis, some kinds of different interfacial waves were distinguished and defined, and then the interfacial wave patterns were given, which were compared with previous results. The interfacial wave transition mechanism between eaeh interfacial wave pattern was discussed and a set of transition equations were presented to predict the interfacial wave pattern transitions. The predictive results are in good agreement with the experimental data.
