ABSTRACT

Ultrafast X-ray tomography is a key imaging technique for multiphase flows. In particular, it has been used with great success for studying particle flows. Here, we give an overview of recent developments in the scanner hardware and data processing, and demonstrate the use of this technique to the study of particle segregation in a rotating drum as an exemplary test case for analysing industrial particle mixing systems.


Keywords: Ultrafast X-ray tomography, Particle mixing and segregation, Analysis of particle image data
