In this paper, an improved PIV algorithm is proposed for the velocity field of oil-water two-phase dispersed flow in horizontal pipe. In the proposed PIV algorithm, interrogation windows are overlapped by 50% in all iterations other than just overlapped in the final iteration. And what’s still different is that the interrogation window can also be a rectangular window just as [64 64; 64 64; 32 32; 32 32; 32 16;]. What’s more, if any element of the final interrogation window is different from the penultimate iteration, there is going to be another interrogation with the last interrogation window size, which can reduce the false vectors. Experimental results show that velocity measurements of oil-water two-phase flow can be realized by this advanced PIV algorithm with high accuracy. At the same time, it provides the basis for further studying the application of PIV in velocity measurements of oil-water two-phase flow.
Electromagnetic flow meters are widely used in two-phase or multi-phase flow measurements in recent years. In this paper, simulation model is established to study the flow meter response characteristics which exist a non-conductive body (oil bubble) in the fluid by use finite element software ANSYS. We analyze different electrode size impact on the response characteristics of electromagnetic flow meter in the measurement of two-phase or multi-phase flow which includes non-conductive material in the fluid, which provides reference for design of the sensor electrode sizes, and provides a theoretical basis for error analysis measuring two-phase or multi-phase flow under different electrode sizes of electromagnetic flowmeter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
