An experimental study of solid particle motion in a turbulent liquid pipe flow

An experimental study of the motion of 100 micron diameter glass and stainless steel spheres in a fully developed turbulent liquid pipe flow was conducted. Furthermore, the liquid, water, was directed vertically downward through a 5.08 cm inside diameter plexiglas tube. One goal was to measure the turbulence properties of the particles in the r-θ plane with a previously developed axial viewing photographic technique. Another goal was to determine the effects of the inherent inhomogeneities of turbulent pipe flow on the results.
