ABSTRACT:

During this quarter progress has been made in all 3 areas of the bubble column research (probe measurements, laser doppler anemometry and numerical modeling of the two phase flow). In particular, bubble velocities can now be inferred from cross-correlation of two probe signals, and the numerical modeling has yielded circulation streamlines for a bubble column in laminar flow. Liquid velocities can also be measured in a hexagonal test column with the laser doppler velocimeter.  Details of this research progress follow. 12 refs., 41 figs.
