An experimental study of dispersed liquid/liquid two-phase upflow in a pipe
This paper presents experimental data for dispersed liquid/liquid upflows. Water was the continuous phase and mineral oil was the dispersed droplet phase. For this how regime reduced gravity bubbly flow phenomena was simulated because the mineral oil and water had almost the same density. The mean velocity and turbulence fields, the size distributions of the oil droplets, the volume fraction, and interfacial area density distribution were measured using fiber optic Laser Doppler Anemometer (LDA) and phase Doppler Anemometer (PDA) systems. Significantly, the results presented in this paper are similar to those for bubbly air/water flows in microgravity conditions (Kamp et al., 1995).
