Flows of two immiscible liquids through inclined pipes are often encountered in industrial processes. The interfacial characteristics in inclined pipes are of significance for understanding the mechanism of flow pattern transition and modeling the flow parameters. This paper developed a novel experimental technique to access the interface characteristics of liquid-liquid flows, during which optical and electrical methods were successfully combined by matching the refractive index and conductivity of the flows. A planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) system was set up with a continuous laser and high-speed camera. Organic and aqueous phases were chosen to match refractive indices. The liquid-liquid interface in the middle of the pipe could be clearly visualized by the PLIF system. Meanwhile, two conductance parallel-wire array probes (CPAPs) were designed to reconstruct the liquid-liquid interfaces at upward and downward pipe cross-sections. The performances of the CPAP were validated using the PLIF results and employed to investigate the liquid-liquid interfacial structures. The interfacial shape and its instability were uncovered using the reconstructed interfaces by the CPAPs.
