Blowout Fluid Velocity Measurement Method based on High-speed Sequence Images

Abstract

Given the high-temperature and high-pressure environment after the blowout, the staff usually cannot calculate and analyze various blowout parameters at close range and thus take effective measures to control accidents quickly. In this paper, a blowout fluid velocity measurement method is proposed based on high-speed sequence images, and simulation experiments are conducted. The scene conditions of blowout accidents are simulated and analyzed. On this basis, cameras are adopted to shoot a large number of simulated blowout fluid videos from different angles under outdoor conditions. Afterward, the video is converted into a multi-frame image, and the blowout fluid image feature point detection and extraction model are established based on the orb (oriented fast and rotated brief) algorithm. On the feature points extracted by the model, the gms algorithm is used to match the features of the blowout fluid images in the front and back frames. Additionally, the wrong matching points are eliminated using the ransac (random sample consensus) algorithm, and the obtained feature point pairs are employed into the flow velocity calculation model for flow velocity calculation. The results demonstrate that the measured fluid velocity is more accurate. The method proposed in this study can provide reliable data support for early blowout emergency rescue.
