description As two important parameters, the velocity of disturbance wave and the wall shear stress in annular flow are very important to solve the closed equations of the mechanical model for annular flow. In this study, the disturbance wave velocity and wall shear stress of annular flow in a vertical narrow rectangular channel with a cross section of 70 mm × 2 mm were studied. According to the experimental results, it is found that the wave velocity and wall shear stress of disturbance wave increase with increasing gas phase velocity and liquid phase velocity. Also, existing correlations for predicting the velocity of disturbance wave were summarized and evaluated using the current experimental data. A new correlation for wall shear stress based on the disturbance wave velocity has been proposed. Compared with the existing correlation for predicting wall shear stress, this new correlation can well predict the current experimental data and MAPE is only 7.32%.
