Physics: Determination of the flow pattern depending on v_m, rho_g, rho_l, surf_tension, well_diameter, well_inclination and friction. After flow pattern is known void fraction is calculated using the adjusted flow parameters v_d and C0.

Return: Void fraction vfrac, drift velocity v_d, flow_type_c0 C0, Flow pattern as int value Flow_pattern

Input: Surface tension of the liquid phase
