Abstract

Based on the conductance fluctuating signals measured from gas/water two-phase flow in vertical upward pipe, the 10 feature quantities, which reflect flow characteristics of gas/water two-phase flow, were extracted. The features in frequency domain were derived by using linear prediction method of speech signal processing and the features in time domain were derived by time series statistical analysis. The extracted features were combined with the experimental observed flow pattern information to establish the data set, and the support vector machine was used to identify the flow patterns of gas/water two phase flows. Finally the classification validity reaches 95.39% for the three type flow patterns of bubble, slug and churn. We conclude that the support vector machine is an effective method to identify the flow patterns of gas/water two phase flows at the condition of small sample data
