Abstract

Summary This paper presents a software technique for measuring individual phase flow rates in two-phase flow. The technique is based on the extraction, classification, and identification of stochastic features from turbulent pressure and void-fraction waveforms. Experiments in a horizontal air/water loop showed that a set of stochastic features is uniquely related to the individual phase flow rates. The software flowmeter is calibrated in situ by compilation of feature sets related to individual phase flow rates in a data base. On-line flow-rate measurement is made by a pattern recognition technique that identifies the best match to the measured feature vector from the calibration data base.
