Contactless inductive flow tomography for Rayleigh-Bénard convection


Contactless inductive flow tomography for Rayleigh-Bénard convection

Sieger, M.; Mitra, R.; Stefani, F.; Schindler, F.; Vogt, T.; Eckert, S.

In this talk we give an overview of the current state of the developments of the contactless inductive flow tomography (CIFT) for two different cylindrical cells with aspect ratio 1 and 0.5 for Rayleigh-Bénard convection. Both cylindrical vessels are filled with the eutectic alloy GaInSn. We address the challenges in the flow induced magnetic field measurement and show first reconstructions of the complex three-dimensional flow structure in the cell with aspect ratio 0.5.

Keywords: contactless inductive flow tomography; flow measurement; liquid metal; Rayleigh-Bénard convection
