This paper reports the investigation of the structure of two-phase helium flows used for cryostatically controlling superconducting magnets in installations such as HERA, NET, UNK and KEK. Flow pattern maps for horizontal round channels and rectangular slot channels are plotted on the basis of exper

β¦ Synopsis
Information about the quality and flow patterns of helium two-phase flow has been obtained by using optical fibres and photo-sensitive devices. Light emitted from a LED is scattered by bubbles and turbulence in liquid helium. As bubbles and turbulence in liquid are related to the quality, x, the measured photo-diode current may include much information concerning the two-phase flow. The change in the photo-diode current was ~0.18/~A when the quality changed from 0 to ~ 1 at a flow rate of r~ = 2.27 g cm-2 s-L The relationship between the observed flow patterns and measured signals are also included.
