Abstract :
An instrumentation system for obtaining cross-sectional images of two-component flows is described. It uses measurements made with capacitance electrodes mounted on the outer surface of the fluid-conveying pipe, and an image reconstruction algorithm based on backprojection. Images of static physical models simulating a stratified solids/air flow are presented
