New X-Ray Techniques for Flow Visualization and Measurement of Hydrodynamic Flow Parameters in Opaque Heterogeneous Media

This paper proposes and validates a method for the quantitative analysis of multiphase flows and objects of complex composition with image registration on a charge-coupled-device array taking into account the X-ray spectral characteristics. The method was tested on objects of known composition and shape. New approaches are formulated to solve a number of research problems related to the use of modern registration techniques and computer-based tools for X-ray image processing.
