Intelligent Identification of Flow Regime Based on Improved BP and IMFs

Abstract:

Aimed at the characteristic of nonlinear and non-stationary of pressure drop, in this article a flow regime identification soft sensing method using Hilbert-Huang transformation combined with improved BP neural network is put forward. The method analyzes the intrinsic mode function (IMFs) obtained after the empirical mode decomposition (EMD), then extracts IMF energy as the characteristic vector of an improved BP neural network with self-adapted learning ratio. Learning form training samples, the network could accomplish the objective identification of the unknown flow regimes. The simulated results showed that the flow regime characteristic vector which was obtained by IMFs could reflect the difference between various flow regimes and the recognition possibility of the network could reached up to about 95 percent. This study provided a new way to identify flow regime by soft sensing.
