The use of an EM mixing approach for the verification of an EM wave sensor for a two phase (oil–water) dispersed flow

Abstract

Electromagnetic wave (EM) transducers for obtaining primary information about the volumetric content of the flow of mixtures in pipelines are proposed. The sensors are resonators of a special construction, which do not create interference with the flow. The dependence of the resonant frequencies on the volumetric content of the two phases in a dispersed flow regime are obtained. The use of EM mixing approaches are proposed in conjunction with high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) to validate the results.
