Contactless Inductive Flow Tomography: Brief History and Recent Developments in Its Application to Continuous Casting

Figure 1

(a) Schematic sketch of the experiment for the validation of CIFT at a propeller driven 3D flow using GaInSn. M—motor, C—coils, P—propeller, G—guiding blades, and H—Hall sensors. (b) Measured induced field at 48 positions for upward pumping propeller for applied . The arrows indicate the field component measured by the Hall sensors. (c) Same as (b), but for applied . (d) Velocity field as reconstructed by CIFT from (b) and (c).
