Abstract

Dispersion and attenuation was measured for standing waves in a vertical waveguide filled with a bubbly air/water mixture. The propagation speed of pressure pulses was also measured. The data was compared with a two-fluid model for a range of values of the virtual volume coefficient, C//V//M. The C//V//M representing the best fit to the data is given as a function of void fraction. The experimentally determined values of C//V//M were found in general to be lower than those predicted by analytical models proposed by Zuber and Van Wijngaarden.
