Abstract

By changing air to water flow rates of a two-phase flow through a minichannel we identified aggregation and partitioning of air bubbles and slugs of various sizes. It was found that for some flowconditions air bubbles formed periodic patterns. The identification of the spatio-temporal behaviourswas performed with a laser transitivity sensor and confirmed by a digital camera. We used the Hurstexponent to distinguish instabilities in air slugs, their breakups and aggregations. In addition, we performed noise level estimation.
