1. A method of determining a gas volume fraction in a conductive liquid, comprising:
(a) immersing a first electrode in the conductive liquid, wherein the first electrode is electrically connected to a resistor and a voltage source, and wherein the conductive liquid comprises molten glass;
(b) immersing a second electrode electrically connected to the voltage source in the conductive liquid;
(c) determining resistance information indicative of an electrical resistance of the conductive liquid between the first electrode and the second electrode; and
(d) determining a gas volume fraction in the conductive liquid based on the measurement.
