Apparatus and method for visualization of particles suspended in a fluid and fluid flow patterns using ultrasound

摘要: An apparatus and method for real-time visualization of particulate matter suspended in a static or flowing fluid flow patterns pipe, tube, conduit, other container, are described. Ultrasonic scanning detection scattered sound from the particles create image particles, liquid. A mechanical wobbler directs piezoelectric transducer over chosen angle an oscillatory manner. The is operated pulse-echo mode wherein same detects return signal target region through which passing and/or present. measurements made rapidly continuously during single sweep angle. Received signals processed ultrasound scanner electronics module displayed as real-time.
