AbstractThe two-phase flow patterns (air–water) in horizontal square minichannel (3 × 3 mm) has been analysed. The multifractal analysis of pressure drop fluctuations was used for qualitative assessment of two-phase flow patterns. The results of the complexity analysis using the multifractal spectral width (Δh) are presented. The proposed method allows us to identify the following two-phase flow patterns: micro-bubbles flow, micro- and minibubbles flow, micro- and mini-bubbles with confined bubbles flow, slug flow, stratified flow. The obtained results confirm that this type of analysis can be considered as an alternative way of identification of two-phase flow patterns in the minichannel. The work also focuses on the discussion of the occurrence and identification of bubbles churns in slugs and churns.

This paper presents a methodology for classification of two-phase flow patterns in fluid systems, which takes the measurements of an in situ ultrasonic sensor as inputs. In contrast to the common practice of having an array of ultrasonic detectors, the underlying algorithm requires only a single sensor hardware in combination with an integrated software of signal conditioning, feature extraction, and pattern classification. The proposed method is noninvasive and can be implemented in a variety of industrial applications (e.g., petrochemical processes and nuclear power plants). This concept of flow pattern classification is experimentally validated on a laboratory test apparatus.

Airlift pumps can be used in the aquaculture industry to provide aeration while concurrently moving water utilizing the dynamics of two-phase flow in the pump riser. The oxygen mass transfer that occurs from the injected compressed air to the water in the aquaculture systems can be experimentally investigated to determine the pump aeration capabilities. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of various airflow rates as well as the injection methods on the oxygen transfer rate within a dual injector airlift pump system. Experiments were conducted using an airlift pump connected to a vertical pump riser within a recirculating system. Both two-phase flow patterns and the void fraction measurements were used to evaluate the dissolved oxygen mass transfer mechanism through the airlift pump. A dissolved oxygen (DO) sensor was used to determine the DO levels within the airlift pumping system at different operating conditions required by the pump. Flow visualization imaging and particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements were performed in order to better understand the effects of the two-phase flow patterns on the aeration performance. It was found that the radial injection method reached the saturation point faster at lower airflow rates, whereas the axial method performed better as the airflow rates were increased. The standard oxygen transfer rate (SOTR) and standard aeration efficiency (SAE) were calculated and were found to strongly depend on the injection method as well as the two-phase flow patterns in the pump riser.
