The turbulence characteristics of the bulk phases were studied in a stratified, two-dimensional, gas- liquid channel flow. Initial results are presented comparing mean velocity and turbulent intensity profiles with those obtained in a prior study at the same bulk phase Reynolds numbers. The results indicate that comparison of two realizations of stratified gas- liquid flow cannot be adequately done on the basis of bulk-phase Reynolds numbers. Comparisons must be based on some more fundamental relationships involving the gas-liquid interactions
