This article reports the methodology that the liquid phase velocity and gas-liquid interface information are obtained from Ultrasonic Velocity Profile (UVP) measurements. This kind of flow measurement is designed for the estimation of the liquid phase flow rate of a gas-liquid two phase flow. Three ultrasonic transducers are used simultaneously at different locations in the pipe. The gas-liquid interface can be detected with one UVP transducer. However, the curvature of the interface in the cross sectional area of the pipe cannot be inferred. By using three ultrasonic transducers the estimation of the gas-liquid interface curvature can be improved. We focus here on certain specific points to achieve this accuracy. The liquid flow rates in these experiments ranged from 0.6 m3/h to 7.2 m 3/h. The gas void fraction ranged from 0 % (pure liquid) to 50 %. Only liquid flow rate calculations are performed, no gas phase calculations are shown in this paper. We also propose a special configuration for transmission of the calibrated data using Li-Fi technique.
