Abstract
A non-intrusive flow visualization technique based on light activation of photochromic dye material has been used to obtain velocity profile s in gas-liquid flows including annular, slug and stratified flows. Th e preliminary results revealed several important two-phase flow mechan isms that have not been clearly seen previously.
