Absorption Tomography for Turbulent Flows

Tomography is extensively used in laminar flows and stationary objects to capture local information based on path integrated measurements. Typical examples include CAT-scan and PET inspection systems. However for industrial flows, the local quantities vary with time, and hence it is difficult to obtain information on them using conventional tomographic techniques. En'Urga has developed a novel statistical method for obtaining local information in turbulent flows with very high resolution.

Specifications

Hardware: Self standing transmitting and receiving optics with a 12 inch hole in the middle of the structure for accommodating flows. The maximum diameter of the flow path should be four inches to eliminate edge effects.
