Abstract (EN): The influence of gas density on flooding instability phenomena is investigated experimentally both in long gas slugs of CO2 rising in vertical tubes filled with water at pressures up to 5.2 MPa, and inside a rectangular column with flat walls positioned in the vertical and at 15º, 45º and 60º from the horizontal, at absolute pressures up to 0.6 MPa with air and up to 1.5 MPa with argon, at Reynolds numbers for the water between 2667 and 26667.
