TITLE

Experimental Study of Two-Phase Flow Using Shadowgraphy and IPI Technique

ABSTRACT

The article deals with the research of mixing process are using visualization techniques and Interferometric Particle Imaging method. Characteristics of the size distribution and the evolution of two liquid-liquid phase’s disintegration were studied. A methodology has been proposed for visualization and image analysis of data acquired during the initial phase of the mixing process. IPI method was used for subsequent detailed study of the disintegrated droplets. The article describes advantages of usage of appropriate method, presents the limits of each method, and compares them.
