In order to investigate the two-phase frictional pressure drop characteristics of boiling flows in a rectangular narrow channel under rolling motion

a series of thermal hydraulic experiments and theoretical analysis are performed. The results demonstrate that the additional inertial force is imposed on the fluid and the space of experimental loop will vary periodically under rolling motion. The fluctuation amplitude of the two-phase frictional gradient increases with increasing rolling angle and rolling period. The fluctuation amplitude and time average value of the two-phase frictional pressure gradient increase with increasing heat flux

while it decreases with the increase of system pressure. The mass flux varies with the fluctuation of frictional pressure gradient at the same period. The phase change between the fluctuation of mass flux and frictional pressure gradient is approximately equal to 1/4 rolling period due to the velocity difference of the pressure propagation and mass flux increases.
