A wire-mesh sensor has been employed in a vertical pipe of 67 mm diameter and 6 m length to investigate two-phase flows of two different two-phase mixtures. Conductivity-based measuring electronics was used to measure water-air flow and permittivity-based one for silicone oil-air flow. This experimental setup enables a direct comparison of both two-phase flow systems. Thus, wire-mesh sensor data of both gas-liquid systems were analysed with regard to radial gas volume fraction profiles and bubble size distributions. Furthermore wire-mesh sensor images were evaluated to determine the occurring flow pattern. A flow pattern map was created which contains all experimental measurement points denoted with observed flow pattern.

Keywords: gas-liquid flow; flow visualization; wire-mesh sensor; capacitance; permittivity; conductivity
