The use of an EM mixing approach for the verification of an EM wave sensor for a two phase (oil–water) dispersed flow

• Proposed EM wave transducer to determine the volumetric content of flow of mixtures in pipelines.
• Propose the use of EM mixing formulas with HFSS simulation in the case of dispersed flow.
• Obtained the dependence of the resonant frequencies on the volumetric content of the two phases in a dispersed flow regime.

Electromagnetic wave (EM) transducers for obtaining primary information about the volumetric content of the flow of mixtures in pipelines are proposed. The sensors are resonators of a special construction, which do not create interference with the flow. The dependence of the resonant frequencies on the volumetric content of the two phases in a dispersed flow regime are obtained. The use of EM mixing approaches are proposed in conjunction with high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) to validate the results.
