“…Regarding to image analysis, some researchers have used PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) and BIV (Bubble Image Velocimetry) techniques for determining the instantaneous velocity flow field (Misra et al, 2008;Bung, 2011;Rodríguez-Rodríguez et al, 2011;Lin et al, 2012). Studies on bottom aerators using combined techniques of PIV and Cesium 137 probe allowed obtaining very good void fraction profiles, used to quantify air entrainment along the water jet in such devices (Lima, 2004, Lima et al, 2008, 2009).…”
