Image reconstruction and simulation of fluid flow patterns in pipeline based on Electrical Impedance Tomography algorithm

In industrial production, pipe plugging occurs in the process of pipeline conveying fluid. In this paper, different flow types such as laminar flow, bubble flow and core flow appear in the pipeline, and different number of electrodes are designed to be actuated on the outer wall of the pipeline. Images of different flow types of images are reconstructed based on EIT algorithm. Image reconstruction is evaluated based on the quality reconstruction function method. The experimental results show that the algorithm is effective and practical for image reconstruction of different flow patterns in pipelines.
