The article proposes an adaptive passive acoustic characteristic frequency extraction (APACFE) method for measuring underwater escaping gas flow under constant and variable speed conditions. The accuracy of frequency identification is ensured by using a normalized energy window to determine the time period of each bubble. The study demonstrates that the APACFE method has better adaptability and can accurately measure the flow rate.
The measurement of underwater escaping gas flow is of great significance to global climate change and industrial process state transition. The acoustic signals of a low signal-to-noise ratio and high-speed escape of gas are very complicated, and traditional filtering methods and the Minnaert equation are difficult to apply. In this article, an adaptive passive acoustic characteristic frequency extraction (APACFE) method is proposed. It can measure the flow under constant and variable speed conditions. The signalto-noise ratio and measurement stability can be improved through complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition and adaptive frequency matching. The normalized energy window is used to determine the time period of each bubble to ensure the accuracy of the frequency identification. The accuracy of APACFE was verified by simulation analysis and flow measurement experiments. The results show that the proposed APACFE method has better adaptability and can accurately measure the flow rate. Under constant speed conditions, the measurement error was controlled to within 1%. This study provides insight into low signal-to-noise ratio and high-speed escaping gas flow measurement technology and provides a reference for global climate change and industrial process state monitoring.
