“…Only one study has reported vapor turbulence measurements in &-water annular flows with a liquid film interface (Azzopardi and Teixeira, 1994b). They concluded that turbulence intensities were higher than the values that would Hot-film anemometry (HFA) techniques have been used extensively for local turbulence measurements in both bubbly flow (Serizawa et al, 1975;h@chiyoshi and Serizawa, 1986;Wang et al, 1990;Lance and Bataille, 1991;Hogsett and Ishii, 1997) and dropletlparticle flows (Ginzburg, 1971;Hetsroni and Sokolov, 1971 The specific objectives of the present study are to: a) extend the established hot-film anemometer technique for turbulence measurements in refrigerant flows using a dual-sensor probe, b) perform drop size and turbulence measurements in the vapor core at gas-liquid density ratios comparable to steam-water at high pressure, and c) provide insight into the complex physical phenomena characteristic of turbulent, annular two-phase flows.…”
