Electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) has been under rapid development in recent years. However, as a relatively new technology, ECT is far from mature and its applications are rather appliance-dependent, i.e. the sensor design, calibration, and data interpretation etc., depend on the understanding of the specific situations for ECT measurement. The authors have experimented several sensing strategies and developed algorithms for 3D image presentation and online iterative image reconstruction, and applied ECT to the measurement of several typical cases of two phase flows, which is reported in this paper.
