Abstract

The accurate measurement of the parameters of two-phase flows depends on flow regime recognition. Based on the application of electrical resistance tomography (ERT) and the flow regimes´ diversity in horizontal pipe, variance ratio (C.V.) as an eigenvalue of cross section has been used to express the information of gas-liquid two-phase flow in measured field. Furthermore, the difference of the C.V. eigenvalues of cross sections provides an evidence of dynamic clustering to recognize several typical flow regimes. It is feasible to take the method to recognize flow regimes by validation of the practical experiment.
