基于电阻层析成像技术(ERT)对于气液两相流动过程中气泡含气率的测量

Measurement of bubble void fraction in gas-liquid two-phase flow based on electrical resistance tomography

  • 摘要: 气液两相流广泛存在于能源与过程工业中,精准在线测量含气率对压降预测、传热传质分析和系统安全运行至关重要。本文提出一种利用电阻层析成像技术(ERT)测量气液两相流动过程中气泡含气率的方法。面向在线表征需求,构建了基于ERT的全截面、时变测量框架,通过完整电极模型与线性反投影算法正则化重建得到电导率截面图,并据此计算局部与整体含气率含气率。以实测ERT数据为基准,建立了气泡含气率随气泡速度变化的关系,计算结果与三种经典含气率计算模型(Maxwell-Garnett、Bruggeman及漂移通量模型)一致。研究结果表明,ERT能够在不侵入流程的前提下,为两相流的监测、模型识别与参数整定提供一体化数据支撑,为含气率的在线定量与过程优化提供可靠技术途径。该方法为工业过程中气液两相流的在线监测与智能控制提供了理论依据与数据支撑。

     

    Abstract: Gas–liquid two-phase flow is ubiquitous in energy and process industries, and accurate online measurement of void fraction is essential for predicting pressure drop, heat and mass transfer, and ensuring safe operation. This study proposes a method for quantifying bubble void fraction in gas–liquid two-phase flow using electrical resistance tomography (ERT). To meet the requirements of real-time characterization a full-cross-section, time-varying measurement framework based on ERT was established. The complete electrode model and linear back-projection (LBP) algorithm were employed to regularize and reconstruct conductivity distributions, from which both local and overall void fractions were calculated. Based on the acquired ERT data, the relationship between bubble void fraction and bubble velocity was further established, and the calculated results show good agreement with three classical void-fraction models, namely the Maxwell-Garnett, Bruggeman, and drift-flux models. The findings demonstrate that ERT can provide comprehensive, non-intrusive data support for two-phase flow monitoring, flow regime identification, and parameter optimization, offering a reliable technical approach for online void-fraction quantification and process optimization. This method provides a theoretical basis and data support for online monitoring and intelligent control of gas-liquid two-phase flows in industrial processes.
