Effect of Liquid Viscosity and Flow Orientation on Initial Waves in Annular Gas–Liquid Flow

The complex wave structure of annular gas–liquid flow with disturbance waves and liquid entrainment is a result of the evolution of high-frequency initial waves, appearing at the very inlet of the flow, prior to the hydrodynamic stabilization of liquid film. This stage of flow evolution is studied experimentally, using a shadow technique, and theoretically, using a linear stability analysis of the Orr–Sommerfeld equation in both phases. The present work is focused on the comparison of earlier results obtained in air–water downward flow with the new results obtained in upward flow and with more viscous liquids. The flow orientation affects the shape of the liquid film prior to stabilization; the initial film area is thicker but shorter in upward flow. Upward flow orientation also leads to a lower frequency and the increment of growth of initial waves. The viscosity effect is found to be weak if flow rates of both phases are the same. The model is mostly able to reproduce the qualitative trends, but the quantitative agreement is not reached. Experimental observations indicate that the liquid flow within the initial area is significantly different from the stabilized flow of gas-sheared liquid film, which is used in the model. This difference could explain the discrepancy; further development of the model should be aimed at taking into account the evolution of the velocity profile inside the liquid film during the stage of hydrodynamic stabilization

The use of ridge regression for estimating the severity of acute pancreatitis

Purpose. Increasing of treatment efficiency for patients with acute pancreatitis by improving objective means of determining the severity of acute pancreatitis.Materials and method. The study was based on a retrospective analysis of 130 cases of acute pancreatitis: 47 cases from «Krasnoyarsk Regional Clinical Hospital» and 83 cases from «Regional Interdistrict Clinical Hospital No 20 named after I.S. Berzon» in the period from 2015 to 2017. The raw data was pre-processed. In particular, different methods (median, linear regression) were used to fill the missing values in the observation matrix. The initial dataset contained features measured in various quantitative and categorical scales. For some features with a pronounced asymmetric distribution, a quantile transformation was applied to initial values. The quantile transformation allows features to be brought to a uniform distribution in order to reduce the risk of excluding significant features. Ridge regression was used in combination with an algorithm for sequential reduction of attribute space.Results. The classifier of three degrees of acute pancreatitis severity was developed. This classifier can help to determine better treatment tactics. During validation, the method of determining the severity of acute pancreatitis classification has proven to be effective. The average accuracy was 92% compared to the experts’ decisions. This procedure for constructing a classifier can be used as part of the basis to the medical decision support system.Conclusion. The results of this study will help to make the choice of a necessary starting therapy, assess the need for surgical intervention and in severe cases, prescribe enhanced antibacterial and detoxification therapy. This will predictably reduce the percentage of septic complications of acute pancreatitis, and consequently will reduce the frequency of fatal outcomes
