The application of the fuzzy identification theory makes it possible to describe the real flow patterns of two-phase flow more accurately and objectively. The flow pattern judgment is based on an original signal (pressure drop or local conductivity) which is only related with the conditions of fluids in the pipe, and the traditional single-phase transducers are used. This method can thus be used to identify flow patterns, in real-time measurement. Experimental results of online measurement of various distributions of two phases were obtained. Three cases of the real distribution, which correspond to the flow pattern of stratified flow, bubble flow, and slug flow, are shown. The experimental results show that the flow pattern image on a CRT agrees fairly well with the picture obtained using a high-speed camera.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":439545,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Conference Record.

The optimization is done in the time domain by comparing the experimental TDR and TDT response waveforms with the simulated ones using a nonlinear least squares fit. The material properties such as the complex permittivity of the dielectric material are determined from the optimum lossy transmission line model.
