Abstract
This paper proposes an innovative measurement method that uses the impact force generated when the liquid flows through the pipe as an observation indicator, and successfully establishes a non-linear mapping relationship between the impact force sequence and the weight of the flowing liquid by training and learning the collected impact force sequence through the CLCD (CNN-LSTM-CNN-Double) network architecture. In response to the challenges such as the prevalent interference factors and inconsistent flow time lengths in the collected data, this paper introduces a new weight ratio algorithm, WRP (Weight-Ratio-Process), which effectively improves the robustness and accuracy of data processing. The experimental results show that the effective detection rate of the method reaches 90 % when the weighing error is set to ±5g on the constructed fluid impact force test platform. When the error range is relaxed to ±15g, the effective detection rate is increased to 98 %. This achievement demonstrates the broad application potential and practical value of the method in the field of fluid transport measurement.
期刊介绍:
Flow Measurement and Instrumentation is dedicated to disseminating the latest research results on all aspects of flow measurement, in both closed conduits and open channels. The design of flow measurement systems involves a wide variety of multidisciplinary activities including modelling the flow sensor, the fluid flow and the sensor/fluid interactions through the use of computation techniques; the development of advanced transducer systems and their associated signal processing and the laboratory and field assessment of the overall system under ideal and disturbed conditions.
FMI is the essential forum for critical information exchange, and contributions are particularly encouraged in the following areas of interest:
Modelling: the application of mathematical and computational modelling to the interaction of fluid dynamics with flowmeters, including flowmeter behaviour, improved flowmeter design and installation problems. Application of CAD/CAE techniques to flowmeter modelling are eligible.
Design and development: the detailed design of the flowmeter head and/or signal processing aspects of novel flowmeters. Emphasis is given to papers identifying new sensor configurations, multisensor flow measurement systems, non-intrusive flow metering techniques and the application of microelectronic techniques in smart or intelligent systems.
Calibration techniques: including descriptions of new or existing calibration facilities and techniques, calibration data from different flowmeter types, and calibration intercomparison data from different laboratories.
Installation effect data: dealing with the effects of non-ideal flow conditions on flowmeters. Papers combining a theoretical understanding of flowmeter behaviour with experimental work are particularly welcome.
