N. Takenaka et al., VOID FRACTION DISTRIBUTION MEASUREMENT IN 2-PHASE FLOW BY REAL-TIME NEUTRON RADIOGRAPHY AND REAL-TIME IMAGE-PROCESSING, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 377(1), 1996, pp. 153-155
A real-time two-dimensional void fraction distribution measurement of
gas-liquid two-phase Row was carried out by real-time neutron radiogra
phy and real-time image processing. The JRR-3M real-time thermal neutr
on radiography system and a Musashi dynamic image of processing system
were used. Image processing methods to calculate two-dimensional and
cross-sectional void fraction distributions were proposed. The void fr
action distribution was calculated by non-linear processing of the neu
tron radiography image and displayed by pseud-color in real-time. A si
mple gas-liquid two-phase Bow induced by injecting gas through needles
at the bottom of water pool in a rectangular vessel was tested.
