Experimental Investigations for Fragmentation and Insulation Particle Transport Phenomena in Water Flow

The paper includes the description of separate effect test facilities used for investigations with regard to the fragmentation and the transport behaviour of different insulation materials in multidimensional aqueous flow. The instrumentation of the rigs is specified, in particular modern digital image processing technologies. First experimental results are shown and discussed generated at three acrylic glass test facilities. The experimental data could use for CFD-modelling and validation.
