TURBULENT BUBBLY 2-PHASE FLOW DATA IN A TRIANGULAR DUCT

Multidimensional bubbly two-phase flow data was obtained in an isosceles triangular duct having D(h) = 40 mm and LID = 73. The data include local measurements of phase distribution, velocity and Reynolds stresses at 10,000 < Re1 < 35,000 and Re(bubble) = 1250. The measurements were performed with single sensor and X-sensor cylindrical hot film probes of 0.025 mm diameter. These small probes have good bubble penetration characteristics so they are capable of the simultaneous measurement of the liquid phase instantaneous velocity and the phase indicator function. These data are useful for the validation of multidimensional two-fluid CFD models.
