Abstract

It has always been in the interest of process industries to image the flow inside pipelines and as such they are always trying to find the most effective way to achieve that purpose. This is an area in which electrodynamic tomography can play a vital role. This paper expounds a review on electrodynamic tomography look at the design of sensors, various types of measurement which have been investigated in the past, and image reconstruction algorithms which have been used with electrodynamic tomography systems.
