Tomographic Measurement and Reconstruction Techniques

  • Chapter
Optical Measurements

Abstract

In the past decades, an increasing interest in the implementation of tomographic measurement techniques in chemical engineering investigations can be recognized. Tomographic techniques allow the measurement of three-dimensional concentration, temperature and velocity fields in the investigated volume without influencing the physical process. Especially the analysis of unsteady phenomena is of interest. In the paper, the different measurement techniques used in tomography are described. The mathematical methods implemented in the reconstruction of the measured physical properties are reviewed and the quality of the reconstruction is critically evaluated. Numerous applications of tomographic techniques are discussed.
