Source fluctuation effects in radiation diagnosis of voided fluidic systems

The role of the statistical fluctuations of a radiation source on its capability as a diagnostic tool in the determination of voids is examined. Factors such as the influence of the properties of the medium and the probability density distribution of the radiation source are discussed. Experimental...

Description
Summary:The role of the statistical fluctuations of a radiation source on its capability as a diagnostic tool in the determination of voids is examined. Factors such as the influence of the properties of the medium and the probability density distribution of the radiation source are discussed. Experimental investigations of source fluctuation effects have been undertaken and are found to be in excellent agreement with the theoretical predictions. The general framework of analysis is subsequently applied to additional source distribution functions to illustrate the potential void biasing effect of different radiation sources.
