Abstract
We introduce a method based on the Maxwell- Wagner-Sillars (MWS) effect to improve the performance of Displacement-Current Phase Tomography (DCPT) applied to two-phase flow imaging. DCPT utilizes as set of mutual admittance measurements between electrodes placed around a region of interest (RoI). This measurement can extract the phase of the displacement current between the electrodes so as to characterize the spatial distribution of the conductivity or dielectric loss inside the RoI. By exploiting the fact that the measured data at different frequencies will exhibit distinct MWS effects, the proposed approach can extract additional information from the measure data set and improve the resolution of DCPT for the imaging of two-phase flows. Numerical simulations along with experimental results illustrate the main findings of this work.Keywords
