Study of the impacts of droplets deposited from the gas core onto a gas-sheared liquid film (2016)
Journal Article
Cherdantsev, A. V., Hann, D. B., Hewakandamby, B. N., & Azzopardi, B. J. (2017). Study of the impacts of droplets deposited from the gas core onto a gas-sheared liquid film. International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 88, 69-86. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmultiphaseflow.2016.09.015

The results of an experimental study on droplet impactions in the flow of a gas-sheared liquid film are presented. In contrast to most similar studies, the impacting droplets were entrained from film surface by the gas stream. The measurements provid...

The control and maintenance of desired flow patterns in bends of different orientations (2016)
Journal Article
Zhao, D., Omar, R., Abdulkadir, M., Abdulkareem, L. A., Azzi, A., Saidj, F., …Azzopardi, B. J. (in press). The control and maintenance of desired flow patterns in bends of different orientations. Flow Measurement and Instrumentation, 53(B), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.flowmeasinst.2016.09.003

Multiphase flows are common in industrial settings and bends in pipe lines cannot be avoided due to space limitations. Gas-liquid two phase flows could form material discontinuities that could have adverse effect on productivity and the pipe network...

Multi-needle capacitance probe for non-conductive two-phase flows (2016)
Journal Article
Monrós-Andreu, G., Martinez-Cuenca, R., Torró, S., Escrig, J., Hewakandamby, B., & Chiva, S. (2016). Multi-needle capacitance probe for non-conductive two-phase flows. Measurement Science and Technology, 27(7), Article 074004. https://doi.org/10.1088/0957-0233/27/7/074004

Despite its variable degree of application, intrusive instrumentation is the most accurate way to obtain local information in a two-phase flow system, especially local interfacial velocity and local interfacial area parameters. In this way, multi-nee... Read More about Multi-needle capacitance probe for non-conductive two-phase flows.

Flow instabilities in a horizontal thermosyphon reboiler loop (2016)
Journal Article
Agunlejika, E. O., Langston, P., Azzopardi, B. J., & Hewakandamby, B. N. (2016). Flow instabilities in a horizontal thermosyphon reboiler loop. Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science, 78, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.expthermflusci.2016.05.013

Thermosyphon systems have been the subject of several studies due to instability issues negating their attractive high heat fluxes, low temperature gradients requirement, reduced weight and simple, pump-less system. There is a dearth of design data f... Read More about Flow instabilities in a horizontal thermosyphon reboiler loop.

A study of droplet impact on static films using the BB-LIF technique (2016)
Journal Article
