摘要：

A new technique dedicated to bubble velocity and size measurements in complex bubbly flows is pro-posed. This sensor combines the phase detection capability of a conical optical fiber with velocity mea-surements from the Doppler signal induced by an interface approaching the fiber extremity. It provides the translation velocity of bubbles projected along the probe axis with an uncertainty at most 14%. This sensor has been successfully exploited in a 0.4 m diameter bubble column. In the heterogeneous regime, the mean bubble velocity profiles scaled by the value on the axis are shown to be self-similar in the quasi fully developed region of the column. Besides, the standard deviation of bubble velocity scaled by the mean velocity increases with Vsg in the homogeneous regime, and it remains stable, close to 0.55, in the heterogeneous regime. Such a sensor opens the way to velocity measurements conditioned by the local void fraction.(c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
