Summary

A fibre optical probe is used to measure the radial distribution of void fraction and bubble frequency of adiabatic water-air flow in an inclined tube. Three typical void fractions distribution can be established for vertical two-phase flow: sliding bubble flow, coring bubble flow, and an intermediate type. The flow pattern transition can be seen in the change of equivalent bubble diameters.
