Application of Grey Correlation Degree in Identification of Two-Phase Flow Patterns

Abstract:

In order to be able to real-time control over the related equipments of pneumatic transportation system and to prevent plugging from happening, here a method that uses an electrical capacitance tomography system and grey correlation analysis to identify two-phase flow patterns is proposed. Firstly, the concrete steps of two-phase flow patterns identification based on this method are expounded in detail. Then the simulation experiment has been finished to prove the validity of this method. The simulation experiment results have shown that this method has higher recognition precision and faster operation speed in the two-phase flow pattern identification. This method also provides an effective means for the two-phase flow pattern on-line identification.
