Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and system for determining the void fraction of a multi-phase system in a channel. The method comprises the steps of measuring a void fraction dependent parameter of the multi-phase system, obtaining a flow regime of the multi-phase system, and determining the void fraction of the multi-phase system taking into account a set of one or more relationships between the void fraction dependent parameter and the void fraction, the set of relationships being specific for the obtained flow regime.
