Popis: Countercurrent gas–liquid flow in narrow rectangular channels simulated by plain and perforated fins is studied. Different flow patterns dependent on flow rates are observed and visualised in the channels. Flooding velocities and pressure drops are measured. Results are compared with previous experimental data obtained in rectangular channels. The present results focus on two particular types of flooding phenomena: that occurring at the column base and linked to plugging and that at the top, linked to reentrainment. A further set of experiments using perforated fins surprisingly shows a greater tendency to flooding of the perforated fins. However, there are marked differences for the two types of fins and an explanation may be the two distinct flooding occurrences.
