An experimental study has been carried out to clarify the characteristics of the void fraction and liquid film thickness of air-water two-phase flow in vertical tubes of 25 mm inside diameter with wire coil of varying wire diameter and pitch. Flow pattern in the experiment of average void fraction and local void fractrion distribution in a cross section is bubble flow, and liquid film thickness is in the region of semi-annular and annular flow. It is clarified from these experiments that the average void fraction in tubes with a wire coil is lower than that of the smooth tube and decreases with the wire diameter owing to the centrifugal force of swirl flow which concentrates bubbles at the center of the tube, and the liquid film thickness between the wire coil is uniformed with the decrease of the pitch of wire coil and that liquid film becomes thicker after the passage of wire coil with the increase of the wire diameter.
