Flow visualization and characterization of multiphase flows have been the quest of many
fluid mechanicians. The process is fairly straight forward only when there is good optical …

Kidney stone disease is a global concern, and its prevalence is increasing. The objective of
this review is to provide a thorough analysis of the many analytical techniques used in the …

A unique flow visualization facility, based on X-ray imaging, has been developed to study,
characterize, and measure various flow characteristics in large vertical systems that have …

Trickle bed reactors (TBRs) are widely used in chemical and oil industries. Owing to
complex nature of flow in TBRs, measurements of local liquid holdup distribution are rather …

The liquid flow and distribution are key factors in determining the performance of a trickle
bed reactor. It is highly challenging to examine the characteristics of liquid dispersion due to …

Some structural and hydrodynamic properties of RCM-NCX-1116, a Ni–Cr metallic foam
packing manufactured by Recemat International BV (The Netherlands) are investigated …

An image analysis method was developed based on deep‐learning algorithms to extract
phase fractions quantitatively in a rectangular trickle bed, and the average identification …

Transient behavior of local liquid-holdup of air–kerosene fluids in periodically operated
trickle-bed reactor (TBR) is investigated in an acrylic column (140mm ID and a height of …

Imaging of fluid flow at the pore scale in permeable media requires high spatial resolution to
observe the topology of fluid in the pore system, along with high temporal resolution to study …

Lower regions of industrial reactors, such as blast furnace, are complex multiphase system
in which, gas, powder, and liquid flow co-, counter-, and cross-currently. Laboratory-scale …
