Flow pattern identification based on a single-wire capacitance probe

摘要

To identify flow patterns in horizontal gas-liquid flows,a single-wire capacitance probe was used for voltage output for the first time.Regardless of the measurement accuracy of water layer height,the statistic parameters of the voltage-time traces were compared within the same sampling time of 5s under different flow patterns,including maximum,minimum,range,and average.The results show that most of flow pattens were accurately identified except for some transition lines.
