Abstract: A non-intrusive multi-dimensional or multi-phase flow measurement instrument that uses capacitance electrodes to measure volume fraction (0-100%) and velocity for flows having single or multiple phases. It includes integrating the multi-dimensional capacitance sensing technology with several algorithms to increase accuracy and detect fluid phases and flow conditions. The multi-dimensional flow meter is a universal instrument to measure flows with single, two, three, or more phases using a set of multi-dimensional capacitance sensors. The multi-dimensional flow meter is capable of measuring the individual components and flow rates of virtually any multi-phase flow by using single amplitude and electric phase measurements or integrating multiple measurements of amplitude, phase (and at different frequencies), to identify the volumetric or mass flow rate of a passing flow.

Abstract: A system for generating a volume measurement or three-dimensional image of a vessel interior or other object or for determining a quantity of material in a volume, having a symmetrical sensor comprising a plurality of electrodes in a predetermined symmetrical shape arranged in a tessellated pattern for placement around the vessel or the object, wherein the sensor is adapted to provide electric field distribution and sensor sensitivity in three geometric dimensions; the system having a data acquisition electronics in communication with the sensor for receiving input data from the sensor; and a processing system programmed with instructions for executing on the processing system to report a volumetric measurement directly from capacitance volume sensor or through reconstructing a three-dimensional volume-image from the input data collected by the data acquisition electronics. The sensor also includes plates with varying voltage excitations or with a predetermined distribution of excitation and ground subplates.
