Abstract

A numerical solution to a vector field reconstruction problem is proposed. It is assumed that the field is given in a unit sphere. The approximation of the solenoidal part of the vector field is constructed from ray transforms known over all straight lines parallel to one of the coordinate planes. Numerical simulations confirm that the proposed method yields good results of reconstruction of solenoidal vector fields.
