Volume moiré tomography based on double cross gratings for real three-dimensional flow field diagnosis.

Since the advantages of noncontact, strong antidisturbing capability and wide measurement range, moiré tomography has been considered a powerful diagnostic tool for flow fields. In this paper, the volume computerized tomography is introduced to obtain the real three-dimensional reconstruction based on moiré deflectometry. In order to realize volume moiré tomography (VMT), double cross gratings are applied in the moiré deflected system to gain the shearing phase distribution of the moiré deflected projection in two mutually perpendicular directions simultaneously. Thus, the scalar diffraction theory is used for analyzing the imaging process of VMT based on double cross gratings to achieve the explicit form of shearing phase. Finally, the real temperature distribution of a propane flame is reconstructed, which can confirm the VMT method.
