A computer code for Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) is developed to sense the cross sectional phase distribution of two-phase flow in the rectangular pipe in which the tomography sensor furnished by the insulated wall, electrodes, and electric field screen. The computer code had two steps for the image reconstruction. In the forward projection step, the sensitivity matrix was constructed based on the electric field calculated by the finite difference method. In the backward projection step, the sensitivity matrix and the measured capacitances were used to reconstruct the cross sectional image. Several algorithms including LBP, TR, ITR, and PLI were employed to find the proper one for the two-phase flow analysis. Since the dielectric constant of the water in two-phase flow is sensitive to the thermal parameter such as, temperature and pressure, the developed code was evaluated to find their accuracy, speed of calculation, and sensitivity to the variation of the dielectric constant. It was found that the iterative methods are superior to the direct methods for the image reconstruction, and the PLI method was the best in the variation of the dielectric constants.

To understand the complex phenomena performed in steam explosion, the fast and global measurement of the steam distribution is imperative for this extremely rapid transient stimulation of the bubble breakup and coalescence due to turbulent eddies and shock waves. TROI, the experimental facility requests more robust sensor system to meet this requirement. In Europe, researchers are prefer a X-ray method but this method is very expensive and has limited measurement range. There is an alternative technology such as ECT. Because of TROI's geometry, however, we need axial tomography method. This paper reviews image reconstruction algorethms for axial tomography, including Tikhonov regularization and iterative Tikhonov regularization. Axial tomography method is examined by simulation and experiment for typical permittivity distributions. Future works in axial tomography technology is discussed.

ECT는 측정된 커패시턴스 값을 이용하여 유전 물체의 유전율 분포를 가시화하기 위해 사용되는 비접촉 영상 복원 기술이다. 영상 복원시 수렴 속도 개선과 영상의 질 향상을 위해 다양한 반복적 영상 복원 방법들이 있으며, Landweber 방법은 널리 사용되고 있는 ECT의 영상 복원 방법 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 ECT 영상 복원에서 수렴 속도를 개선하기 위해 수정된 generalized Landweber 방법을 제안한다. 특히, Shaping 행렬을 가지는 generalized Landweber 방법에 가속항을 추가하고 최적화 계수를 해석적으로 결정한다. 다양한 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 통해 제안한 방법의 타당성을 입증한다.
