High Gas Void Fraction Two-Phase Flow Measurement Based on One-Dimensional Acoustic Wave in Pipeline
摘要
Parameter measurement of gas–liquid two-phase flow with a high gas void fraction has received great attention in the research field of multiphase flow. As a flowmeter on the sonar principle, the line array-mounted piezoelectric sensors can be applied for gas void fraction measurement of gas–liquid two-phase flow. Firstly, the formula for calculating the density and sound velocity of the medium is analyzed, including: the gas equation of air, the AGA8 and AGA10 standards of natural gas, and the IAPWS-IF97 model of water, combined with the Wood formula and the one-dimensional acoustic attenuation formula of the pipeline, it is deduced that in the gas void fraction > 50% high zone where the gas well is located, the mixed sound velocity increases with the increase of the gas void fraction, showing a monotony increasing correspondence. Secondly, the MVDR beamforming algorithm is applied to solve the “acoustic ridge” in the
