| description | Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive and non-optical measurement technique, which makes it a promising method for studying delicate and opaque samples, such as foam. Another key benefit of MRI is its sensitivity to different nuclei in a sample. The research presented in this article focuses on the use of MRI to measure density and velocity of foam as it passes through a pipe constriction. The foam was created by bubbling fluorinated gas through an aqueous solution. This allowed for the liquid and gas phases to be measured separately by probing the <sup>1</sup>H and <sup>19</sup>F behavior of the same foam. Density images and velocity maps of the gas and liquid phases of foam flowing through a pipe constriction are presented. In addition, results of computational fluid dynamics simulations of foam flow in the pipe constriction are compared with experimental results. |
