Explore how a change in operating conditions affects a measurable quantity, from the frequency of passing gas pockets to the thickness of an ice layer.
Slug passage
Move a repeating gas pocket and liquid slug along a horizontal pipe. The time between two electrode signals sets the translation speed.

Structure speed1.00 m/s
Passage frequency0.45 Hz
Unit period2.20 s
The model translates identical unit cells at constant speed. Passage frequency equals the structure speed divided by the combined gas-pocket and liquid-slug length.
