APPLICATION OF OPTICAL SYSTEM TO DETECT FLOW PATTERN IN TWO-PHASE FLOW

The objective measurement and detection of flow patterns in two-phase flow is not only one of the most significant problems in research but also absolutely necessary in aerospace, automobile, petroleum and chemical industry. The development of such methods and systems requires an identification of the dependent physical parameters, which are impacted by flow patterns. Any attempt to find such parameters and describe the relations is a progress in a way to find such system to detect flow patterns. This paper presents the results of an exploratory experimental research on two variations of optical system response to changes of three arbitrary chosen flow patterns and change of mixture viscosity. Further, the analysis of the results should provide guidance for next steps in th
