Abstract

A sensor system detects the occurrence of two-phase flow by comparing records of fluidelastic force coefficients, which are characteristically different for single-phase and two-phase flows. A baseline of measurements is obtained for a single phase flow, and a baseline of measurements is obtained for a two-phase flow. Measurements of the amplitude and phase of the fluidelastic forces are recorded, and the corresponding fluidelastic force coefficients computed. The fluidelastic force coefficients can be determined for any flow, and compared to the baselines to determine whether the flow is a single-phase or two-phase flow.
