Dataset for: Flow morphologies in straight and bent horizontal pipes

This data set contains gas phase fraction data (void files, v.) obtained from wire-mesh sensor recordings up and downstream of horizontal pipe bends. The test sections and experimental setups are explained in the correpsonding journal paper.

The post processing was done with the Wire-mesh Sensor Framework GUI (Version 1.3.0).

The archive is organzed as follows:<br>
(1) Each .zip file contains the void files for one distinct location (INL, OUT or REF) for the respective test sections (S - straight pipe, B - Horizontal 90° Bend, Upr_SB - Upright S-bend, Hor_SB - Horizontal S-bend)  and pipe diameter (DN50 and DN200).

(2) The 'overview.csv' (separator = semicolon, decimal operator: = comma) links the files in this data set to the corresponding flow rates, FFPI degrees of membership and RGB color values as they are presented in the journal paper. The column 'File Prefix' contains the explicit file indicator for the .v-files, the column 'Direcotry' contains the location of in this data set.

(3) The MatLab script  'openvoid.m' exemplarily shows how to read in the data contained in the .v file.
