Popis: The present experimental feasibility study testifies the two flow measurement techniques Defocusing Particle Tracking Velocimetry (DPTV) and Interferometric Particle Imaging (IPI) for their applicability to measure the two-phase flow of thin (sub-millimeter) annular rotor-stator gaps such as occur across for the leakage flow e.g. in the housing gap of oil-injected rotary positive displacement compressors (RPDC). To provide unrestriced optical access to the annular gap and in turn eliminate secondary effects, a simplified displacement compressor model has been developed and fabricated from perspex. The proof-of-concept results of both experimental campaigns (DPTV & IPI) are discussed and avenues for future efforts towards a straight-forward and accurate applicability of either method are elaborated.
