A new model of the transition mechanism from stratified gas-liquid two-phase flow into a slug pattern in horizontal circular tubes was developed. This model incorporated the contribution of liquid kinematic energy to wave growth on the interphase surface. The transition limit was numerically determined so as to allow a wave crest to reach the top wall of the horizontal tubes.<BR>Air-water experiments were performed to obtain data for comparison with model predictions. Three test sections were used. They had different inner diameters and the largest test section had a rod bundle inside it. Predictions of liquid flow rate at the flow pattern transition boundary, with given gas flow rates, were within data scatter of the experiments. This suggested that the present model satisfactorily described effects of tube size and internal structure on slugging onset in horizontal circular tubes.
