Turbulence Measurement Techniques for Multiphase Flows in Mechanical Flotation Cells

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Turbulence is an important factor affecting flotation performance. It affects air dispersion, particle suspension, bubble-particle collection interactions, and entrainment of fine particles. However, quantifying turbulence in multiphase flows has always been an enormous scientific challenge. In this paper, many turbulence measurement techniques will be reviewed and compared including Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA), Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT), Constant Temperature Anemometer (CTA), Piezoelectric Vibration Sensor (PVS), and Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT). The turbulence profile obtained from measurement techniques can lead to better process knowledge and control of multiphase flows in mechanical flotation cells.
