Process tomography unit for CFD validation
Industrial Tomography Systems
identify regional changes in process conditions over time for comparison with CFD predictions
provide process information to improve CFD models
determine repeatability of process conditions to characterise inherent process variability
Process Tomography Solution:
Process tomography provides concentration measurements through a process volume. This data can be used to test and validate CFD models.
In applying tomography to CFD challenges, a key aspect is the accuracy of the tomography data and the confidence levels in the CFD model.
Process tomography can be used to test and validate a wide range of CFD models, including:
gas-liquid mixing
solid-liquid mixing
multi-phase flow
packed bed reactors
Typically our p2000 instrument is used for cold models where water is used as a surrogate material. Depending on the nature of the process, a variety of different reconstruction methods can be used, including SCG (Sensitivity Conjugate Gradients) and parametric reconstruction.
