Abstract
A laboratory-prepared wedge-shaped fiber probe using step-index multimode plastic optical fiber was described and tested in a lab-scale gas–liquid flow generator. A three-dimensional model was established in order to fully simulate the process of bubble piercing by the optical fiber probe. A theoretical analysis of the luminous intensity distribution of the light transmission in the process of bubble piercing was undertaken under conditions of different relative positions between the fiber probe and the bubble axis. Using this analytical method, it was possible to accurately define the range of the central region of the bubble where the presignal appeared.
