Liquid metal two-phase flows

The ascents of single Argon bubbles and bubble chains are investigated by means of Ultrasound Doppler Vecolimetry and X-ray radiography. A cuboid benchmark experiment of dimensions 144 x 144 x 12 mm³ is used and filled with eutectic alloy GaInSn. Furthermore the effects on the bubble behaviour and flow structure is investigated by superimposing a strong magnetic transversal DC field up to 1.1 T.
