Abstract

The experimental results of time-spatial phase distributions are presented for vertical upward huge wave and annular flows. Two multi-integrated phase-sensing units were used to investigate the phase distributions, namely, the supermultiple-point-electrode probes (Super-PEP), for detecting time-varying cross-sectional phase distributions, and the supermultiple-ring-electrode probes (Super-REP), capable of observing the axial distributions of liquid lumps (e.g. liquid slugs, huge waves, disturbance waves and ephemeral large waves) and their behavior along a tube. A computer algorithm for determining the gas-liquid interface between the gas-core and a continuous liquid film or gas and liquid slugs is proposed, and some typical displays of three-dimensional interface structures are presented. The appearance of a huge wave and the disappearance of liquid slugs within a churn flow regime are pointed out based on the information of the interfacial structures.
