N2 - The presence of one or more dispersed phases in a continuous carrier flow adds challenges to the experimental characterization of multiphase flows. Numerous experimental techniques have been developed over the past 50 years that overcome the challenges introduced by the optical opacity and the presence of phase interfaces, some providing global quantities while others offering local or spatial information of the distinct phases. This paper reviews several experimental techniques for dispersed multiphase flow measurements that are relevant to various types of flows with a gaseous, solid, or liquid phase dispersed in a gas or liquid carrier, and that are considered important by the authors based on their collective experience. Additionally, the paper highlights promising areas of ongoing development aimed at advancing multiphase flow measurement techniques.
