Hydrodynamic experimental benchmark data of bubbly two-phase pipe flow around a semi-circular constriction

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 constrictions 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 the entire results of the experimental series L30 that uses a <strong>semi-circular</strong> flow constriction with a blockage ratio of 0.5. 

An additional info.txt file provides all required information (e.g. nomenclature or binary file structure) and is, thus, necessary for interpretation of the experimental data.
