Discrete axial motion of a radioactive tracer reconstructed from the response of axially aligned detectors: Application to the analysis of a bubble column dynamics
The feasibility of extracting relevant dynamic information of a bubble column from the approximate reconstruction of a radioactive tracer axial trajectory using a set of axially aligned detectors (AAD) is explored. The experimental procedure involves scanning simultaneously different column heights...
