Contactless inductive flow tomography: A liquid metal flow measuring technique complementary to UDV


Contactless inductive flow tomography: A liquid metal flow measuring technique complementary to UDV

Stefani, F.; Gerbeth, G.; Gundrum, T.; Wondrak, T.

The aim of the Contactless Inductive Flow Tomography (CIFT) is the reconstruction of flow structures in metal and semiconductor melts. It relies on the induction of electric currents in moving conductors exposed to magnetic fields. The flow induced deformations of various applied magnetic fields can be measured in the exterior of the melt and utilized for the reconstruction of the velocity field. After a presentation of the principles of CIFT, first applications and possible extensions of the method are discussed and put into the context with traditional measuring techniques such as UDV.
