Spatial dispersion intensity measure of phase concentration distributions and its applications to quantitative characterization, distinguishing and classification of bubble structures
A method of evaluation of spatial dispersion of structures is presented. A quantitative parameter measuring spatial dispersion is introduced. It is shown that this parameter indeed measures spatial dispersion. A classification of bubble flow structures based on values of this parameter is proposed. An example of application of the method to real flow structures is presented. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
