Abstract
This paper presents a three dimensional (3D) modelling of a dual modality sensor
composite which emerges electrical capacitance sensor (ES) and ultrasonic transducer
(UT) for process tomography applications. The dual-modality tomography (DMT) setup has
employed a customized ES electrodes along with UT on a single-plane. A finite element
method is used to analyze the feasibility and the behavior of the DMT setup in 3D
environment using COMSOL Multiphysics software. This simulation is performed both in a
homogeneous and inhomogeneous conditions to investigate the wave distribution and its
pattern thus the simulation results are presented in this paper.

Abstrak
Dalam kertas ini, sebuah model system dwi-tomografi (DMT) yang menggabungkan
system penderia kapasitan (ECT) dan system penderia ultrasonik (UT) telah dibina dalam
tiga dimensi (3D). Sistem DMT ini mengapliskasikan kedua-dua penderia tersebut pada
satu datar yang sama. Untuk mengkaji fungsi dan keberkesanan gabungan penderia ini,
sebuah kaedah analisis elemen terbatas (FEM) menggunakan perisian COMSOL
Multiphysics adalah diperlukan. Satu ujikaji simulasi telah dijalankan untuk menyelesaikan
pengiraan model matematik ECT bersama pengawal penghapusan derau.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) and
Ultrasonic tomography (UT) has been extensively
employed in the field of process tomography (PT) for
flow monitoring applications such as oil and gas
industries and others.
