Abstract

Turbulence measurements in dispersed-bubble two-phase pipe flow, using laser velocimetry techniques, are presented. The turbulence-intensity measurements show a strong dependence on the quality of the flow. A theoretical basis for the prediction of turbulence levels in two-phase flows is proposed. The approach is applied to dispersed-gas/liquid (bubbly) and solid/gas (particulate) two-phase flows, for which experimental data are available, with excellent results.
