PROCESS TOMOGRAPHY APPLIED TO MULTIPHASE FLOW MEASUREMENT

This paper presents the state of the art in measuring multi-phase flow s by using tomographic techniques. The results presented show a wide r ange of industrial applications of process tomography from the nuclear and chemical to the food industry. This is illustrated by examples of the application of various tomographic sensors to the measurement of geometric or kinematic parameters of multi-phase flows. An application of process tomography for the validation of computational fluid dynam ic models and the possibility of constructing a flowmeter for multi-ph ase flow are addressed.
