Ultrafast X-ray tomography raw-data of bubbly two-phase pipe flow around a semi-circular obstacle

For the investigation of bubbly two-phase flow, which should serve as a future benchmark experiment for CFD code validation, an experimental study has been conducted at the <strong>T</strong>ransient Tw<strong>o-P</strong>hase <strong>Flow</strong> (TOPFLOW) facility at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden – Rossendorf (HZDR) using ultrafast electron beam X-ray tomography (UFXRAY). In this study, flow obstacles were installed into a pipe to create a generic three-dimensional flow field as an advanced test case for CFD codes. UFXRAY provide valueable data of the gas phase dynamics with high temporal and spatial resolution.

The provided data set contains tomography raw-data for the experimental series L30 that uses a <strong>semi-circular</strong> flow obstacle with a blockage ratio of 0.5.
