摘要
An experimental study was carried out to determinate the power spectral density (PSD) of mono-dispersed bubbly flows in a vertical channel using flying hot-film anemometry. To improve bubble detection, optical fibers were installed in close proximity to the anemometer sensing element; in this way, the collisions of bubbles with the probe can be detected and removed from the signal. Measurements were performed with gas fractions up to 6%. The PSD distributions were found to decay with a power of -3, in agreement with previous studies, but for a much wider range of Reynolds and Weber numbers. Our measurements indicate that the power decay does not depend strongly on the nature of hydrodynamic interactions among bubbles. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4800782]
