Fan Tomography of Gases and Plasmas Based on the Maximum Entropy Method

摘要

The fan method for reconstruction based on the maximum entropy method is proposed. The algo-rithm allows the spatial characteristics of gas-dynamic and plasma objects to be reconstructed with a sufficiently high degree of accuracy. The reconstruction algorithm is numerically tested by using model problems, and its basic characteristics are obtained. The accuracy of object reconstruction is studied as a function of the number of angles of approach and the “focal” length of the fan. The results of reconstruction by the fan method are compared with the results obtained using a parallel system of data collection.
