Ultrasound Tomography Hardware System for Multiphase Flow Imaging

This paper presents the development of an ultrasonic tomography system for multiphase flow imaging. Ultrasonic tomography (UT) modality has a hard-field sensing principle which makes feasible to measure liquid-gas, liquid-liquid and liquid-solid flow composition within a pipe vessel. The sensor configuration for the UT system is discussed along with its signal conditioning circuitry and image reconstruction technique. The feasibility of the system is experimentally carried out on a 100 mm acrylic pipe for a stratified multiphase flow measurement to reconstruct tomographic images.
