    In the paper the method based on recurrence plots has been used for identification of two-phase flow in a vertical, circular minichannel. The time series obtained from image analysis of high speed video have been used. The method proposed in the present study allows us to define the coefficients which characterize the dynamics of two-phase flow in a mini channel. To identify two-phase flow patterns in a mini channel there has been used the coefficient LAVG which is a measure of an average length of diagonal lines in recurrence plot. The following two-phase flow structures have been considered: bubbly, bubbly-slug and wavy-annular. Obtained results show that method proposed in the paper enables identification of borders between two two-phase flow patterns coexisting in a mini-channel

    Celem pracy by艂a analiza por贸wnawcza dynamiki odrywania si臋 p臋cherzy gazowych od kraw臋dzi dyszy w dw贸ch przypadkach: gdy dysza umieszczona jest wewn膮trz kana艂u lub wewn膮trz du偶ego zbiornika wype艂nionego wod膮. Zastosowanie metody Recurrence Plots pozwoli艂o na szczeg贸艂ow膮 analiz臋 szereg贸w czasowych powsta艂ych w analizie film贸w. Wyznaczone na tej podstawie wsp贸艂czynniki LAVG i TT pozwoli艂y na wyodr臋bnienie trzech zakres贸w obj臋to艣ciowego strumienia powietrza, w kt贸rych dynamika odrywania si臋 p臋cherzy ma odmienne cechy. Wyniki analiz pokaza艂y, 偶e szeregi rejestrowane w przypadku, gdy dysza nie ma zainstalowanego mini-kana艂u dla wydatku mniejszego od 0,3 l/min s膮 bardziej periodyczne od rejestrowanych dla p臋cherzy w mini-kanale. Oznacza to, 偶e wzrost pr臋dko艣ci cieczy wok贸艂 p臋cherzy prowadzi do nasilenia si臋 chaotycznych zachowa艅 odrywaj膮cych si臋 p臋cherzy.The aim of this study was a comparative analysis of the dynamics of gas bubble departures from the nozzle in two cases: when the nozzle is located inside circular mini-channel, or in a large tank filled with water. The bubble departures were recorded using a high speed camera. The Recurrence Plots have been used for analysing the dynamics of bubble departures. Two coefficients: LAVG and TT have been considered. Results of analysis allow us to define the three ranges of air volume flow rates in which the dynamics of bubble departures has different characteristics. For the air volume flow rates less than 0.3 l/min the bubble departures in water tank are more periodic in comparison with situation when the nozzle is located in the mini-channel. It has been shown that the increase of velocity of the liquid around the bubbles leads to an intensification of the chaotic behaviour of bubbles
