摘要：
This short communication describes the application of a capacitance wire-mesh sensor for the investigation of a gas-liquid-liquid three-phase flow in a laboratory setup. Experiments with air, silicone oil and water are performed first in static and second in dynamic flow conditions. The capacitance mesh sensor is capable of generating images of the cross-sectional distribution of relative permittivity values, which in turn is an indication to the phases present in the multiphase mixture. Initial tests show that the sensor is a valuable tool to investigate three-phase flows, which are very common in the oil industry. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
