Electromagnetic flow rate measurement in turbulent liquid metal channel flow [PDF]
AbstractFlow control in hot aggressive melts is a big challenge for metallurgical and glass technology applications. For instance, during the production of float glass, the glass melt solidifies on the top of a liquid tin bath. To achieve a spatially homogeneous glass thickness, both global and local control of the thermofluiddynamic transport ...

Measurement of Liquid-Metal Flow with a Dynamic Neutron Radiography [PDF]
Abstract. The flow-field of a liquid-metal system is very important for the safety analysis and the designof the steam generator of liquid-metal fast breeder reactor. Dynamic neutron radiography (DNR) is suit-able for a visualization and measurement of a liquid metal flow and a two-phase flow in a metallic duct.However, the three dimensional DNR ...
