Experimental study of highly concentrated two-phase flows

The new techniques and instrumentation have been developed and successfully applied to granular shear flows in a Couette apparatus. This apparatus has been designed and constructed to obtain both global quantities and optical measurement of detailed particle movements. Over 48,000 pictures have been taken and analyzed. Concentration, velocity, and granular-temperature profiles have been obtained for the first time. The new physical phenomena observed give many physical insights.
