Novel wire-mesh sensor for visualization of threephase flows

For the investigation of three-phase flows, for instance as commonly found in oil and gas production, there are only few suitable measuring techniques. For this reason, in this paper a new multichannel complex impedance measuring system using wire-mesh sensors is presented. The system measures amplitude and phase componets of impedance (at single frequency) and is thus able to determine simultaneously the conductive and the capacitive parts of a fluid (complex permittivity). In the future this system can be employed for the investigation of dynamic processes in multiphase flow. The performance in measuring the complex permittivity is evaluated. First promising results for the three-phase flow are presented
