Abstract
Three dimensional turbulent flow was measured in the vicinity of gas-l iquid interface using Laser Doppler Anemometer. The measurements were made in a 100 mm i.d. stirred cell with a flat interface. Mean and rms velocities were measured at seven radial and three axial locations. T he effect of liquid viscosity on the flow pattern was investigated. Th ese measurements form a first step in validating the published theorie s on mass transfer.
