Abstract
Complex oil and gas two-phase flow exists within an aero-engines bearing cavity scavenge pipe, prone to lubricated self-ignition and coking. Lubricant system designers must be able to accurately identify and understand the flow state of the scavenge pipe. The prediction accuracy of previous models is insufficient to meet the more demanding needs. This paper establishes a visualized flow pattern identification test system for the scavenge pipe, with a test temperature of up to 370 k, using a high-speed camera to photograph four flow patterns, decomposing the pressure signals obtained from high-frequency dynamic pressure sensors using the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method, and then performing Hilbert transform, using the Hilbert spectrum to quantify the changes of amplitude and frequency with time, and establishing the energy and flow pattern correspondence analysis. Then the energy percentage of IMFs is used as the input of feature values, and the random forest algorithm machine learning is used for predictive classification. The experimental results show that the flow pattern recognition rate established in this paper can reach 98%, which can identify the two-phase flow pattern in the scavenge pipe more objectively and accurately.
