Intelligent diagnosis of gas pipeline condition through multivariate analysis of acoustic emission signal-based imaging

ABSTRACT Intelligent gas-pipeline condition monitoring is vital for managing risk and reducing costs, but traditional methods using acoustic emissions (AE) encounter challenges like fluid-pressure changes, flange vibrations, and inconsistent leak length, resulting in unreliable outcomes. This research proposes an intelligent solution that overcomes these obstacles, enabling real-time-accurate monitoring. The initial solution involves resampling and segmenting AE signals, followed by two-parallel processes to enhance the density of AE features. The first process involves stacking the segments to create a 2D-acoustic-time representation (ATR), while the second process uses the Hilbert transform to derive the relative magnitudes of frequency components from the envelope-power-spectrum from each segment. This results in a 2D-acoustic-frequency representation (AFR). A data-level-fusion is then proposed by combining the ATR and AFR to create the multivariate-acoustic-imaging-representation (MAIR), which serves as input for the multivariate-convolutional neural network (MCNN). Unlike previous research in this area, MAIR enables image-based input to MCNN, allowing the utilisation of image augmentation for the first time. This mitigates data limitations and enhances the generalisation performance of the model before training. Testing on the GPLA-12 dataset demonstrates the robustness of the proposed approach, achieving a pipeline-leak detection accuracy of 97.88% for 12 classes, surpassing state-of-the-art methods by at least 8.47%.

Uniqueness theorems in the steady vibration problems of the Moore–Gibson–Thompson thermoporoelasticity

Abstract In this paper, the linear model of Moore–Gibson–Thompson thermoporoelasticity is considered and the governing equations of motion and steady vibrations are given. The basic system of equations of steady vibrations with respect to the displacement vector, the changes of temperature and fluid pressure are proposed. Then the radiation conditions are established and Green’s first identity is obtained. Finally, on the basis of this identity, the uniqueness theorems for classical solutions of the boundary value problems of steady vibrations in the theory of MGT thermoporoelaticity are proved.

Impact of knee geometry on joint contact mechanics after meniscectomy.

Finite element modeling has served as a cornerstone in understanding knee joint mechanics post-meniscectomy, yet the influence of varying knee geometries remains unknown. The present study aimed to fill that gap by employing statistical shape modeling to generate knee models from MRI data of 31 human knees, capturing the population's knee size and shape variations. Finite element simulations were conducted to replicate intact, partial, and total medial meniscectomy conditions during standing. The results revealed a substantial shift in load distribution from the medial to lateral compartment following medial meniscectomy with its magnitude depending on knee geometry. Cartilages experienced variable degrees of pressure changes at different sites, which could also be different for fluid and contact pressures. While changes in joint size led to somewhat predictable alterations in contact pressure, variations in joint shape resulted in unexpected changes in contact and fluid pressures, emphasizing the need for computational simulations. The average knee geometry exhibited the lowest contact and fluid pressures under the given loading and boundary conditions, in contrast to knees with shapes deviating from the average. This study highlights the significance of individual knee shape in the biomechanical outcome of meniscectomy, potentially explaining the variability in clinical outcomes observed post-surgery.

Multiscale modeling of thermo-hydromechanical behavior of clayey rocks and application to geological disposal of radioactive waste

This work is devoted to numerical analysis of thermo-hydromechanical problem and cracking process in saturated porous media in the context of deep geological disposal of radioactive waste. The fundamental background of thermo-poro-elastoplasticity theory is first summarized. The emphasis is put on the effect of pore fluid pressure on plastic deformation. A micromechanics-based elastoplastic model is then presented for a class of clayey rocks considered as host rock. Based on linear and nonlinear homogenization techniques, the proposed model is able to systematically account for the influences of porosity and mineral composition on macroscopic elastic properties and plastic yield strength. The initial anisotropy and time-dependent deformation are also taken into account. The induced cracking process is described by using a non-local damage model. A specific hybrid formulation is proposed, able to conveniently capture tensile, shear and mixed cracks. In particular, the influences of pore pressure and confining stress on the shear cracking mechanism are taken into account. The proposed model is applied to investigating thermo-hydromechanical responses and induced damage evolution in laboratory tests at the sample scale. In the last part, an in-situ heating experiment is analyzed by using the proposed model. Numerical results are compared with experimental data and field measurements in terms of temperature variation, pore fluid pressure change and induced damaged zone.

An Unambiguous Signature of Pore Fluid Aftershock Triggering in the Landers Earthquake Sequence

Aftershocks within an extensional fault discontinuity of the 1992 Landers, California earthquake rupture occurred at an approximately constant rate for over three years following the mainshock. This contrasts with most of the rest of the aftershock sequence, and aftershock sequences in general, for which aftershock rates decay following Omori’s law. The protracted aftershocks in the fault discontinuity can be understood if pore fluids are present at seismogenic depths and trigger seismicity as they flow to equilibrate pore pressure during the transition from the immediate, undrained to the eventual, drained condition. Changes in pore fluid pressure modulated by changes in the mean normal stress provide a clear and unambiguous signature of fluid effects in earthquake triggering. If this result generalizes to other settings, it suggests a predictable time-dependent component to the pattern of aftershock triggering not accounted for in models of Coulomb static stress triggering.

Caldera resurgence and the case-history of Campi Flegrei

Large calderas formed by explosive eruption are often characterized by a structural uplift of the caldera floor that has been named resurgent dome or block. The analysis of recent unrest at several calderas suggests that the resurgent dome is likely formed by the intrusion of magma at shallow depth below the light caldera infill. Campi Flegrei is an active volcano considered the highest risk volcano in Italy and Europe and has been in a state of unrest in the last 70 years. The analysis of the past volcanological history point to an unrest localized in a central resurgent block. Different or paired interpretations on the current unrest suggest either an intrusion of magma at shallow depth (3-5 km) or a deformation governed by the poro-elastic response of a shallow hydrothermal system to changes in fluid pressure and temperature. The invariance of the shape of the deformation, as well as the diffuse degassing of the Solfatara area, hint that the unrest is related with the uplift of the resurgent block driven by magma intrusion at shallow depth.

Thermal and hydrodynamic analysis inside a channel partially filled with porous material

AbstractIn this work, the transfer of heat and changes in fluid pressure within a rectangular channel fairly packed with porous material have been studied numerically for various Darcy numbers and dimensionless porous layers. The model was run with the following assumptions: laminar flow, forced convection, isotropic porous material, local thermodynamic equilibrium, constant wall temperature boundary condition, and no thermal dissipation. The study covers a broad range for the dimensionless porous layer, 0 ≤ hr < 1, and the Darcy number, 10−4 < Da < 10−2. The fully developed and developing flow over the channel is investigated in numerical study. It was observed that the inertia effect may be disregarded when Da < 10−4. The local dimensionless bulk temperature distribution, pressure drop, and velocity profiles were all shown to be impacted by the Darcy number and dimensionless porous layers, according to the numerical analysis results. The maximum heat transfer rate was attained when the ratio of the porous layer inside the channel was 0.8, and the pressure gradient was the highest. Partial packing of the channel with a porous material has two advantages: it increases the rate heat transmission rate and results in a much smaller pressure drop than a filled porous medium.

Using U–Pb carbonate dating to constrain the timing of extension and fault reactivation within the Bristol Channel Basin, SW England

The Bristol Channel Basin is a Mesozoic continental rift basin. The basin is an important analogue for offshore reservoirs. Relative cross-cutting relationships and correlation with adjacent sedimentary basins have previously been used to constrain the timing of basin development. In situ U–Pb carbonate geochronology has been used to date calcite slickenfibre development in the cores of normal, thrust and strike-slip faults in the East Quantoxhead and Kilve region of Somerset for the first time. Protracted north–south extension from c. 150 to 120 Ma formed normal faults. Subsequent north–south shortening from c. 50 to 20 Ma was accommodated by (1) mutually cross-cutting strike-slip faults, (2) minor east–west-striking thrust faults and (3) the reactivation of pre-existing normal faults. Throughout Cenozoic contraction, σ 2 and σ 3 remained similar in magnitude and periodically flipped to become vertical; this was probably controlled by local stress permutations and changes in fluid pressure. The timing of inversion is contemporaneous with dominant Pyrenean and later Alpine orogenic events, as well as the opening of the Mid-Atlantic Rift. Early inversion of the Bristol Channel Basin was probably driven by far-field Pyrenean deformation, with later contraction caused by Alpine forces. Ridge push from the Mid-Atlantic Rift exacerbated the reactivation of the basin.

An Insight into Perfusion Anisotropy within Solid Murine Lung Cancer Tumors.

Blood vessels are essential for maintaining tumor growth, progression, and metastasis, yet the tumor vasculature is under a constant state of remodeling. Since the tumor vasculature is an attractive therapeutic target, there is a need to predict the dynamic changes in intratumoral fluid pressure and velocity that occur across the tumor microenvironment (TME). The goal of this study was to obtain insight into perfusion anisotropy within lung tumors. To achieve this goal, we used the perfusion marker Hoechst 33342 and vascular endothelial marker CD31 to stain tumor sections from C57BL/6 mice harboring Lewis lung carcinoma tumors on their flank. Vasculature, capillary diameter, and permeability distribution were extracted at different time points along the tumor growth curve. A computational model was generated by applying a unique modeling approach based on the smeared physical fields (Kojic Transport Model, KTM). KTM predicts spatial and temporal changes in intratumoral pressure and fluid velocity within the growing tumor. Anisotropic perfusion occurs within two domains: capillary and extracellular space. Anisotropy in tumor structure causes the nonuniform distribution of pressure and fluid velocity. These results provide insights regarding local vascular distribution for optimal drug dosing and delivery to better predict distribution and duration of retention within the TME.

Development of numerical and experimental performance evaluation techniques for high-reliability turbine flow meters of ice-making water-dispenser

A turbine flowmeter for sensing the water supply in an ice-making system of a refrigerator requires high sensitivity to the flow rate. This research aims to develop a comprehensive performance evaluation technique by constructing an experimental setup and establishing a numerical technique to simulate the rotational motion of the impeller in response to the injection of water into the flowmeter. An experimental rig was built to secure the measurement accuracy according to the fluid temperature and pressure changes and verify the reliability under various flow conditions from low to high. A numerical method based on the six-degree of freedom method was used to confirm its validity, which is different from a moving reference frame, which numerically analyzes the rotational speed of the turbine by backtracking the rotational speed to correspond to the flow conditions by giving it a constant rotational speed. By simulating water injection into the flowmeter, generating kinetic energy in the impeller according to the flow rate, and subsequently rotating the impeller due to the generated torque, the numerical analysis cost was reduced, allowing direct numerical analysis of the impeller’s acceleration motion. The results were evaluated in terms of angular velocity and pulse signal, and the applicability and reliability of the numerical technique were verified by comparing the numerical results with experimental results. The aerodynamic performance of the impeller was analyzed to understand the phenomena as the impeller rotates. The results of this study can be utilized to conduct future research to improve the performance of flow meters, thus proving its value as a preliminary study.

Natural fractures and their attributes in organic-rich shales: Insights from the Paleozoic Wufeng-Longmaxi formation, southeastern Sichuan Basin

Fractures in organic-rich shale affect the evolution of permeability and control shale gas preservation. We characterize fracture attributes in the Qiyue-Huaying Fold-Thrust belt in the southeastern Sichuan Basin, revealing the distribution, origin and factors controlling fracture localization through investigation of cores, image logs, and thin section petrography. We found that the deformation intensity, organic matter content and lithology are the major factors for controlling fracture occurrence and location in the Wufeng-Longmaxi deep shale. The major fracture pattern in the Fuling Block is characterized by abundant inclined shear fractures, bed-parallel shear fractures, and bed-normal extension fractures, while bed-parallel veins prevail in the Luzhou Block. In general, fracture density and size in the Fuling Block are larger than those in the Luzhou Block. The competent layers (siliceous shale with high TOC) have the highest fracture density, and noticeably, organic matter content controls bed-parallel vein localization. Based on the distribution of fractures in two blocks, we suggest that the dominant origin of fractures in organic-rich shale gradually changes from tectonic events to fluid pressure changes due to organic maturation (organic events), from the Fuling Block to the Luzhou Block.

Deformation mechanisms and fluid conditions of mélange shear zones associated with seamount subduction

Lithologic heterogeneity and the presence of fluids have been linked to seamount subduction and collocated with slow earthquakes. However, the deformation mechanisms and fluid conditions associated with seamount subduction remain poorly understood. The exhumed Chichibu accretionary complex on Amami-Oshima Island preserves mélange shear zones composed of mudstone-dominated mélange and basalt–limestone mélange deformed under sub-greenschist facies metamorphism. The mudstone-dominated mélange contains sandstone, siliceous mudstone, and basalt lenses in an illitic matrix. The basalt–limestone mélange contains micritic limestone and basalt lenses in a chloritic matrix derived from the mixing of limestone and basalt at the foot of a seamount. The basalt–limestone mélange overlies the mudstone-dominated mélange, possibly representing a submarine landslide from the seamount onto trench-fill terrigenous sediments. The asymmetric S–C fabrics in both mélanges show top-to-SE shear consistent with megathrust-related shear. Quartz-filled shear and extension veins in the mudstone-dominated mélange indicate brittle failure at near-lithostatic fluid pressure and low differential stress. Microstructural observations show that deformation in the mudstone-dominated mélange was accommodated by dislocation creep of quartz and combined quartz pressure solution with frictional sliding of illite, whereas the basalt-limestone mélange was accommodated by frictional sliding of chlorite and dislocation creep of coarse-grained calcite, with possible pressure solution creep and diffusion creep of fine-grained calcite. The mélange shear zones formed in association with seamount subduction record temporal changes in deformation mechanisms, fluid pressure, and stress state during megathrust shear with brittle failure under elevated fluid pressure, potentially linking tremor generation near subducting seamounts.

Enhancing Gas Pipeline Monitoring with Graph Neural Networks: A New Approach for Acoustic Emission Analysis under Variable Pressure Conditions

Traditional machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL)-based acoustic emission (AE) data-driven condition monitoring models face several reliability issues due to factors such as fluid pressure changes, flange vibrations, inconsistent leak lengths, and noise in AE signals, which vary with pipeline conditions. Additionally, the noise, and variable pressure conditions complicate the interpretation of sensor data, especially in multivariate setups where understanding spatial relationships between sensors is challenging. In response, we have introduced Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) to overcome these challenges in AE-based pipeline monitoring for the first time. Our proposed method utilizes a publicly available pipeline monitoring dataset, named GPLA-12, which comprises AE signals to train and evaluate the GCN-based model. This innovative graph construction technique is designed to decipher and comprehend the subtleties in AE signals gathered under various pressure conditions from a multi-variate sensor setup. This approach can potentially establish a new standard in pipeline monitoring research and applications.

Interplay Between Fluid Intrusion and Aseismic Stress Perturbations in the Onset of Earthquake Swarms Following the 2020 Alex Extreme Rainstorm

AbstractThe 2020 Alex storm in southern France led to localized extreme rainfall exceeding 600 mm in less than 24 hr. In the 100 days following the storm, a series of small earthquakes swarm occurred beneath the Tinée valley, a region characterized by a low background deformation. To gain insight into the mechanisms controlling swarm evolution, we used an enhanced seismic catalog to detect 188 events. These events exhibited magnitudes comprised between −1.03 and 2.01, and 78 of them were relocated using relative locations at an average depth of 3–4 km. Additionally, we estimated the directions and velocities of seismicity migration. Our analyses reveal multiple episodes of hypocenter expansion and migration within a fluid‐saturated fault system. Observations provide evidence of a bi‐directional seismicity migration marked by dual velocities within a swarm. The northward seismicity migration aligns with velocities indicative of aseismic slip (∼130 m/hr), while the southward migration corresponds to velocities associated with fluid pressure diffusion (∼5 m/hr). This migration pattern underscores the interplay of multiple physical mechanisms in both triggering and driving earthquakes. A stress‐driven model based on rate‐and‐state friction successfully explains the overall evolution of observed seismicity, whereas a fluid‐driven model fails to reproduce the data. Our observations and models suggest that fluid pressure changes resulting from intense rainfall caused aseismic slip in the shallow portion of the crust. We hypothesize that aseismic deformation serves as the driving force for the earthquake swarms, coupled with the invasion of pressurized fluid due to diffusing rainfall.

Developing meshing workflows in Gmsh v4.11 for the geologic uncertainty assessment of high-temperature aquifer thermal energy storage

Abstract. Evaluating uncertainties of geological features on fluid temperature and pressure changes in a reservoir plays a crucial role in the safe and sustainable operation of high-temperature aquifer thermal energy storage (HT-ATES). This study introduces a new automated surface fitting function in the Python API (application programming interface) of Gmsh (v4.11) to simulate the impacts of structural barriers and variations of the reservoir geometries on thermohydraulic behaviour in heat storage applications. These structural features cannot always be detected by geophysical exploration but can be present due to geological complexities. A Python workflow is developed to implement an automated mesh generation routine for various geological scenarios. This way, complex geological models and their inherent uncertainties are transferred into reservoir simulations. The developed meshing workflow is applied to two case studies: (1) Greater Geneva Basin with the Upper Jurassic (“Malm”) limestone reservoir and (2) the 5° eastward-tilted DeepStor sandstone reservoir in the Upper Rhine Graben with a uniform thickness of 10 m. In the Greater Geneva Basin example, the top and bottom surfaces of the reservoir are randomly varied by ± 10 and ± 15 m, generating a total variation of up to 25 % from the initially assumed 100 m reservoir thickness. The injected heat plume in this limestone reservoir is independent of the reservoir geometry variation, indicating the limited propagation of the induced thermal signal. In the DeepStor reservoir, a vertical sub-seismic fault juxtaposing the permeable sandstone layers against low permeable clay-marl units is added to the base case model. The fault is located in distances varying from 4 to 118 m to the well to quantify the possible thermohydraulic response within the model. The variation in the distance between the fault and the well resulted in an insignificant change in the thermal recovery (∼ 1.5 %) but up to a ∼ 10.0 % pressure increase for the (shortest) distance of 4 m from the injection well. Modelling the pressure and temperature distribution in the 5° tilted reservoir, with a well placed in the centre of the model, reveals that heat tends to accumulate in the updip direction, while pressure increases in the downdip direction.

Reliability Analysis of Dynamic Sealing Performance in the Radial Hydraulic Drilling Technique

Traditional coiled tubing radial drilling with the same diameter cannot support deep and ultra-deep wells for high-pressure hydraulic jet drilling due to small diameter and sizeable hydraulic loss over long distances. The novel downhole movable pipe radial hydraulic drilling technique extracts a small diameter high-pressure injection pipe from the (tubing pipe) oil pipe and then drills it horizontally into the formation to form a radial hole. Dynamic sealing is the core of this technology, which achieves high-pressure fluid sealing while ensuring the injection pipe smoothly slides out of the oil pipe. A sealing tool is designed between the tubing and the injection pipe to prevent the leakage of high-pressure fluid. In this paper, the finite element model of the sealing tool was established, and the deformation and stress of the sealing tool under different interference and fluid pressure were simulated and analyzed. The relationship between stress distribution and contact pressure under the corresponding conditions was obtained. The results show that the von Mises stress increases significantly with the increase in fluid pressure under certain interference conditions. When the fluid pressure was 35 MPa, 52 MPa, and 70 MPa, the maximum von Mises stress was 29.65 MPa, 30.87 MPa, and 32.47 MPa, respectively, within a reasonable range. The stress peak area changes simultaneously, indicating that the possible damage location changes with the fluid pressure change. The maximum contact pressure between the sealing ring and the smooth rod increases with interference and fluid pressure, which always meets the sealing conditions. A laboratory test bench was built to test the high-pressure sealing performance of the sealing tool. Combined with the simulation data and test results, the downhole continuous rod dynamic sealing tool was modified to provide theoretical guidance for practical application.

Projection of 4D seismic onto the ensemble observation subspace for data assimilation

Time-lapse (4D) seismic data offer valuable insights into fluid movements and pressure changes within reservoirs, thus aiding the updating of numerical models used in hydrocarbon recovery and geological CO2 storage. However, it is essential to characterize both the uncertainties in the data and the limitations in the forward model to effectively utilize this information. In the context of ensemble-based data assimilation methods, this objective is accomplished through the utilization of the data-error covariance matrix, denoted as Ce. The selection of an appropriate Ce is of paramount importance, as it determines the level of accuracy required to match the data and influences the relative weight assigned to various data sources and prior information during the computation of model updates.Despite significant efforts, the practical estimation of Ce, accounting for both data and model errors, remains a challenging task. This paper presents a novel methodology for estimating Ce within an ensemble-based 4D seismic data assimilation framework. The approach involves projecting observed seismic data onto the subspace defined by predicted data from the prior ensemble and estimating Ce based on the residuals—the difference between observed and projected 4D seismic data. The proposed methodology is tested through application with actual data from three real-world reservoir cases.

Measurement System for Compliance in Tubular Structures

Tubular structures such as blood vessels, intestines, and the trachea are common in various life forms. This paper describes a measurement system to test the mechanical compliance of tubular structures. The novelty of the system lies in its hardware and software. Here we use vascular graft as an example to demonstrate the utility of the system. A fully synthetic vascular graft would ideally mimic the mechanical and architectural properties of a native blood vessel. Therefore, mechanical testing of the graft material under physiological pressure is crucial to characterizing its potential in vivo performance. The device operates through a low-cost Arduino-based control system that simulates and measures cyclic fluid pressure changes over time and a laser micrometer that measures diameter changes with pressure. This system is low-cost, assuming one already has access to a laser micrometer. In contrast to previous methods, this system offers a simple, low-cost, and customizable option to measure compliance and is equipped with data acquisition/analysis programs. These programs include a MATLAB application that processes and synchronizes Arduino Uno pressure signals and LabChart Pro diameter readings. Lastly, this paper explains the hardware and software of the measurement system. The system is beneficial for testing the pressure-diameter relationship of tubular structures of varying sizes and materials.

Polydispersity effect on dry and immersed granular collapses: an experimental study

The column collapse experiment is a simplified version of natural and industrial granular flows. In this set-up, a column built with grains collapses and spreads over a horizontal plane. Granular flows are often studied with a monodisperse distribution; however, this is not the case in natural granular flows where a variety of grain sizes, known as polydispersity, is a common feature. In this work, we study the effect of polydispersity, and of the inherent changes that polydispersity causes in the initial packing fraction, in dry and immersed columns. We show that dry columns are not significantly affected by polydispersity, reaching similar distances at similar times. In contrast, immersed columns are strongly affected by the polydispersity and packing fraction, and the collapse sequence is linked to changes of the basal pore fluid pressure $P$ . At the collapse initiation, negative changes of $P$ beneath the column produce a temporary increase of the column strength. The negative change of $P$ lasts longer in polydisperse columns than in monodisperse columns, delaying the collapse sequence. Conversely, during the column spreading, positive changes of $P$ lead to a decrease of the shear strength. For polydisperse collapses, the excess of $P$ lasts longer, allowing the material to reach farther distances, compared with the collapses of monodisperse materials. Finally, we show that a mobility model that scales the final runout with the collapse kinetic energy remains true for different polydispersity levels in a three-dimensional configuration, capturing the scaling between the micro to macro controlling features.
