Simulation and Experimental Study of The Sensor Emitting Frequency for Ultrasonic Tomography System in a Conducting Pipe

Ultrasonic tomography techniques provide flow visualization capability, non-invasively and non-intrusively, to enhance the understanding of complex flow processes. There is limited ultrasonic research in tomography imaging systems in the tomogram analysis of fluid flow in a conducting pipe because o...
