A technique is described which employs automated image processing of hydrogen-bubble flow visualization pictures to establish local, instantaneous velocity profile information. Hydrogen bubble flow visualization sequences are recorded using a high-speed video system and then digitized, stored, and evaluated by a VAX 11/780 computer. Employing special smoothing and gradient detection algorithms, individual bubble-lines are computer identified, which allows local velocity profiles to be constructed using time-of-flight techniques. It is demonstrated how this techniques may be used to 1) determine local velocity behavior as a function of position and time, 2) evaluate time-averaged turbulence properties, and 3) correlate probe-type turbulent burst detection techniques with the corresponding visualization data.
