Abstract
Multiphase flows play a crucial role in industrial processes and energy conversion systems. Their behavior is governed by complex interactions between phases that occur simultaneously and evolve rapidly, making accurate measurement and detailed characterization challenging. As a result, flow visualization has become a central approach in experimental investigations of multiphase systems. Various visualization techniques are suited to different flow regimes and measurement objectives, each offering specific advantages and limitations in terms of spatial and temporal resolution, optical accessibility, and cost.This review discusses the experimental methods most commonly employed for multiphase flow visualization and measurement. The techniques addressed include shadowgraphy and backlighting, laser-induced fluorescence, particle image velocimetry and particle tracking methods, high-speed imaging, Schlieren and rainbow techniques, X-ray imaging and tomography, as well as magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. In addition, multimodal measurement approaches that combine two or more techniques within a single experimental setup are presented. Although technically demanding, these hybrid methods enable the simultaneous acquisition of complementary flow properties.Finally, the review outlines current challenges and future research directions, including the need for higher spatial and temporal resolution, the development of reliable three-dimensional and time-resolved measurements, and improved imaging capabilities in optically dense or opaque systems. The strong dependence of technique selection on specific flow conditions and measurement objectives is emphasized, highlighting several areas where further technological advancements appear particularly promising.
