    摘要: Systems and methods for imaging and detection of small liquid and solid water particles in different spray conditions includes visible light laser diodes that are pulsed across the area of interest and optical detectors that measure the extinction of light intensity at different directions. The attenuated light projections across the field of view are reconstructed to yield an image of the particles that crossed the plane of light. A wind tunnel is a major tool used in understanding of ice formation and the performance of aircraft engine components. The measurement of the spray provides calibration and, to date, wind tunnel calibration has been time consuming and expensive. This system and method provide near real-time in-situ quasi-quantitative full-field ice/water content data and the corresponding reconstructed images for analysis. The support frame, source-detector configurations, acquisition, simulation, and reconstruction methods of the light emission tomography technology are also disclosed.
