Research Abstract

Multiple wall electric conductance probes (MWCP) and multiple point electrode probes (MPEP) were employed to investigate the time-spacial characteristics of various waves generated at gas-liquid interface of two-phase flow. Visualization of gas-liquid interface of annular two-phase flow was realized by an industrial bore scope and mechanisms of liquid droplet entrainment was studied. The results obtained are as follows.
(1)Gas-liquid interdace profiles at an diametrical cross section obtained by MPEP clearly show the transition flow condition from the slug to annular flows. Complicated structures of gas-liquid interface in the transition region are also clarified.
(2)Time-spacial characteristics of interfacial waves were presented by the MWCP measurement technique. Wave velocities are easily calculated from the time-spacial map of liquid holdup traces, and growth and decay of wave are shown in this map.
(3)Industrial bore scope was valid for visualization of gas-liquid interface of annular flow. Three dimensional structures of interfacial waves and entrained liquid droplets were observed by video pictures.
