Measurement of gas/solid two-phase plug flow velocity based on modified cross-correlation method
In the application of twin-plane electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) system to velocity measurement of plug flow in pneumatic conveying process
the dynamic lag correlation exponent was used to detect the average value abrupt changes of capacitance
and the detected abrupt change-points were used to determine the time windows for selecting proper upstream and downstream signals. The selected signals were thereafter mapped into binary images
which were then processed with mathematical morphology closed operation. Finally
the velocity of plug flow was estimated by implementing two dimensional cross correlation between the processed images. Experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method. Compared to the traditional cross-correlation method
the modified method could extract signals containing obvious fluctuations effectively
and improve the robustness of the cross correlation method by using two dimensional image correlation
enhancing the reliability of online measurement of two-phase flow using ECT.
