Description

A simple algorithm using 4-sensor probe was derived to measure bubble velocity in a gas-liquid two-phase flow. Measurement error of bubble velocity and shape was estimated numerically and experimentally, assuming spherical and ellipsoidal bubble. The result shows that the bubble velocity can be measured within 10% error at 0 < jl < 1.0 [m/s] by using this method. (author)
