What is the principle behind the downcomer’s ability to separate gas and liquid?

In a plate tower, its downcomer can separate gas and liquid; I would like to know what the principle behind this is
Experts, please give me some advice; I’m a newcomer. I’m not quite sure about these.
The liquid phase has sufficient residence time in the downcomer, ensuring that the entrained gas can rise and escape due to the density difference between the gas and liquid phases.

That’s how it is: a period of staying together, and then separation again! ! !
The principle is that the density difference ensures the separation speed, while the residence time ensures the degree of separation.
