Development in the application of contactless inductive flow tomography

The contactless inductive flow tomography (CIFT) allows for reconstructing the mean flow structure of liquid metals by measuring the flow induced perturbations of one or more applied magnetic fields. These measurements are utilized to infer the flow field by solving a linear inverse problem using an appropriate regularization technique. We will give an overview of the application of CIFT to three models of continuous casting available at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden – Rossendorf. These include a 1:8 and a 1:2 model of a slab casting mould as well as a 1:3 model of a cylindrical mould.
