IMFTF Keynote Meeting 9 - In-situ Measurement and Imaging Technique of Particle Separation in Centrifugal Fields by aWERD

On the eve of World Book Day, at 19:00 on April 22, 2022 Beijing time, under the organization of the Secretariat of the Worldwide Energy University Network (WEUN), the 7th academic keynote report invited by the International Multiphase Flow Technology Forum (IMFTF) was held online.

In this report, Masahiro Takei, Vice President and Professor of Chiba University, Japan, and his colleague Yosephus Ardean Kurnianto Prayitno, a postdoctoral researcher in the Takei Laboratory of Chiba University, were invited to make the presentation with the topic of "in-situ measurement and imaging technology of particle separation in centrifugal field by advanced wireless electrical resistance detector". The conference was chaired by Prof. Wang Haigang working at the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. For this meeting, 46 experts, scholars and graduate students at mainland or abroad from several countries and regions around the world participated in this academic salon.

At the beginning of the meeting, Prof. Wang Haigang introduced professor Masahiro Takei's academic achievements in multiphase measurement and visualization, and warmly invited Prof. Masahiro to start this presentaion. Then Prof. Masahiro introduced the research and development process of Electrical Tomography technology of the research group, after introducing his colleague Yosephus Ardean Kurnianto Prayitno.

Then, researcher Yosephus Ardean Kurnianto Prayitno focused on the introduction of the in-situ measurement and imaging technology of particle separation in centrifugal field by the advanced wireless electrical resistance detector (aWERD). Dr. Yosephus Ardean Kurnianto Prayitno started from the principle and steps of wireless resistance detector measurement imaging technology, and introduced the development history of this technology in detail. Then he described the measurement and imaging process of this technology for the characteristics of particle layer in laboratory centrifugal field, and compared the experimental results with the simulation results, which obtained good consistency. Aiming at the defects of this technology used in on-line industrial measurement of particles in horizontal centrifugal equipment, Dr. Yosephus Ardean Kurnianto Prayitno introduced the noise correction method based on artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm, proposed a advanced wireless resistance detection (aWERD) technology for in-situ measurement of particles in centrifugal field, and compared and analyzed the results before and after improvement.

The report is in-depth and simple, with rich and vivid content, and the audience gained a more comprehensive understanding of the the application prospects of the wireless electrical resistance detector technology in the online measurement and imaging in the centrifugal field. Unknowingly, the 60-minute report was over, and then was the questioning session. The enthusiastic audience raised questions enthusiastically, and Prof. Masahiro and his colleague Dr. Yosephus Ardean Kurnianto Prayitno answered them in detail. The report meeting ended successfully in 30 minutes of lively discussion.

As one of the international academic organizations under the framework of the WEUN, IMFTF was established on January 10, 2020. Up to now, the members of the IMFTF committee come from 13 famous universities in 7 countries around the world. The forum aims to gather experts in the field of multiphase flow from all over the world to discuss the development of multiphase flow technology in the industrial field, to jointly carry out scientific research in the face of technical problems, and to clarify the future development direction of multiphase flow technology for young scholars.
