Experimental Identification of the Void Fraction in a Large Hydrodynamic Offset Halves Bearing
A common approach to optimising hydrodynamic journal bearings for power loss is to reduce the lubricant supply and direct the oil to specific bearing areas where it is needed to guarantee safe operation.

Void Fraction Measurment Beneath a Stationary Breaking Wave [PDF]
Impedance based techniques have been used to quantify air entrainment by a stationary breaking wave at the bow of a ship. The present paper describes an impedance based void fraction meter which was developed to make measurements in this high speed ...

Computer Simulation of Packing of Particles with Size Distributions Produced by Fragmentation Processes [PDF]
Fragmentation schemes inspired by theoretical results and conjectures of Kolmogorov are applied to produce particle size distributions of different natures, depending on fragmentation parameters. A two-dimensional computer simulation method of packing is

An Investigation of Void Fraction in the Stratified/Annular Flow Regions in Smooth, Horizontal Tubes [PDF]
Refrigerants R134a and R410A have been used for void fraction measurements in smooth horizontal tubes with diameters between 4mm and 7mm. Quality and mass flux were varied from 5% to 90% and 75 kglm2-s to 700 kglm2-s, respectively.

Experimental study and modelling of average void fraction of gas-liquid two-phase flow in a helically coiled rectangular channel [PDF]
Void fraction is an important parameter in designing and simulating the relevant gas-liquid two-phase flow equipment and systems. Although numerous experimental research and modelling of void fraction in straight circular channels have been conducted ...

Void measurement of a vertical (4×4) rod bundle has been conducted in a steam-water two phase flow using an advanced X-ray CT scanner and a large amount of rod bundle data was obtained. It was found from the results that the cross-sectional averaged void fraction data for a rod bundle could be correlated by the Drift-Flux model and that Zuber-Findlay ...
