Abstract
Bubble flow is one of familiar patterns of two-phase flow which we encounter or use frequently in various energy conversion systems and industrial plant such as nuclear reactors, boilers, chemical plant, and air-lift pumps. But bubble flow exhibits inherent properties in the internal flow structures namely distributions of gas phase, phase velocities, and their fluctuations depending on the flow conditions and/or complex interactions between bubbles and liquid or a channel wall. Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of the systems or apparatus using bubble flows and to guarantee their safe opertions, it is essential to know not only the global flow characteristics but also the local flow charcteristics. However, the mechanism of bubble flows has not been perfectly clear yet.
