Abstract:This work presents an experimental study on oil–water flow downstream of a restriction. The flow pattern, volumetric phase distribution, and their impacts on pressure drop are discussed. We employed two techniques to visualize the oil–water flow patterns, a high-speed camera and an Electrical Capacitance Volume Tomography (ECVT) system. The ECVT system is a non-intrusive device that measures the volumetric phase distribution at the pipe cross-section with time, which plays a critical role in determining the co… Show more
