Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Based on the interaction between materials and electromagnetic fields/waves, the electromagnetic sensing technique is able to provide physical insight into the integrity and properties of materials without causing damage. EM sensing facilitates advancements across a wide range of scientific, industrial, and medical domains and addresses challenges in many application fields such as aerospace, rail, oil, and gas, geophysical exploration, advanced manufacturing, etc.

Great efforts have also been made to improve the measurement accuracy, speed, and resolution through optimization of the sensing system and advanced manufacturing.

This Special Issue aims to report recent advances in EM sensing and welcome contributions from colleagues working in this field. The potential topics include by not limited to:

  • New and emerging electromagnetic sensing principles, sensors and systems;
  • Electromagnetic sensors design and optimization;
  • Material property evaluation;
  • Defect detection and imaging;
  • Sensing system development;
  • Forward and inverse problems;
  • Deep learning enhanced sensing and its applications.

The Eddy Current Flow Meter (ECFM) is a commonly employed inductive sensor for assessing the local flow rate or flow velocity of liquid metals with temperatures up to 700 ∘C. One limitation of the ECFM lies in its dependency on the magnetic Reynolds number for measured voltage signals. These signals are influenced not only by the flow velocity but also by the electrical conductivity of the liquid metal. In scenarios where temperature fluctuations are significant, leading to corresponding variations in electrical conductivity, it becomes imperative to calibrate the ECFM while concurrently monitoring temperature to discern the respective impacts of flow velocity and electrical conductivity on the acquired signals. This paper introduces a novel approach that enables the concurrent measurement of electrical conductivity and flow velocity, even in the absence of precise knowledge of the liquid metal’s conductivity or temperature. This method employs a Look-Up-Table methodology. The feasibility of this measurement technique is substantiated through numerical simulations and further validated through experiments conducted on the liquid metal alloy GaInSn at room temperature.
