Simulation analysis of the spatial sensitivity of a wire-mesh sensor

The wire-mesh sensor is an imaging instrument which is able to generate cross-sectional phase distribution images with high spatial and temporal resolutions, thus being very well suitable for the investigation of multiphase flows. It has successfully been used in several research and industrial applications. In this article, we present the results of the precise simulation analysis of the spatial sensitivity of this device, which support further developments of the image data processing.
