Abstract
This paper discusses the extension of an optical liquid film thickness measurement technique to characterize liquid film flow rate in wavy thin liquid film flow. The technique, based on laser refractometry, is used to measure wave height, shape, frequency, and velocity. A two-zone model to process the measured wave characteristics is used to estimate the liquid film flow rate. The method is validated in a falling film facility where easy optical access allows comparisons of the wave velocity measurements with high-speed videos and where the calculated liquid film mass flow rate can be compared with actual measurements. The paper provides a framework for analyzing time-resolved film thickness data using multizone models in more complex liquid film flows, such as in two-phase annular flow.
期刊介绍：
Experiments in Fluids examines the advancement, extension, and improvement of new techniques of flow measurement. The journal also publishes contributions that employ existing experimental techniques to gain an understanding of the underlying flow physics in the areas of turbulence, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, convective heat transfer, combustion, turbomachinery, multi-phase flows, and chemical, biological and geological flows. In addition, readers will find papers that report on investigations combining experimental and analytical/numerical approaches.
