Show affiliationsA capacitance method is applied to measure the space-averaged void fraction in concentric annular flows. From the analytical solution of the governing electrical field equations, the expression for the capacitance in terms of a given void fraction is derived. Also, a closed form formula to predict the void fraction from the capacitance measurement is proposed. The relationship between the capacitance and the void fraction is successfully compared with static phantom experiments.
