Popis:	This article aims at studying gas-liquid flow in a rectangular microchannel with a high aspect ratio (200 × 2045 μm). Liquid and gas phases were 95% ethanol and nitrogen mixture. Experimental flow characteristics are obtained using high-speed visualization and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) methods. Using the LIF method for wavy-annular flow, the average film thickness, liquid film distribution, and liquid film width were measured. The dependences of the liquid film width and the average film thickness on gas superficial velocity are presented in graphical form and analyzed. An increase in gas superficial velocity causes growth of the liquid film width and thickness of the liquid film, which indicates the process of liquid transfer from the menisci area to the liquid film. For different liquid velocities and the same gas superficial velocities, close values of averaged liquid film thickness were observed for flow with 2D waves and 3D waves on liquid film.
