Detailed Description

The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, which are developed based on the technical solutions of the present invention, and give detailed implementation manners and specific operation procedures to further explain the technical solutions of the present invention.

The present embodiment provides a flow velocity measurement system based on a fiber-optic vector hydrophone, as shown in fig. 1, including: the system comprises a light emitting module, a light transmission module, a vector sensing module, a signal processing module and a terminal module; the optical transmission module is connected with the optical transmission module through optical navigation plug; the vector sensing module and the light transmission module are connected in a fusion mode.

The light emitting module is used for acquiring a light source signal, modulating the light source signal, converting the modulated light signal into a pulse light signal, and transmitting the pulse light signal to the vector sensing module through the light transmission module.

The light emitting module acquires a light source signal from a light source, then modulates the light source signal by using a carrier signal, forms a periodic pulse light signal by using an acousto-optic modulator so as to achieve the effect of time division multiplexing, and then divides the pulse light into a plurality of beams by using a beam splitter so as to achieve the effect of space division multiplexing. The light source signals are required to be subjected to time division multiplexing and space division multiplexing processing, and the number of the time division multiplexing and the space division multiplexing is set according to the number of the optical fiber vector hydrophones in the vector sensing module and the number of paths of each optical fiber vector hydrophone. In the present embodiment, there are 8 fiber vector hydrophones, each of which has 3 channels, so that each measurement requires the optical transmitting module to send out 24 channels of pulsed optical signals.

The vector sensing module comprises 8 optical fiber vector hydrophones, the 8 optical fiber vector hydrophones are respectively arranged at the vertex of a cube with the side length of d, as shown in fig. 2, and 3 coordinate axes are respectively consistent with the directions of three edges passing through the vertex of the cube, namely the directions of the x axis, the y axis and the z axis of the 8 vector hydrophones are consistent. Wherein 2 vector hydrophones arranged at two ends of each edge of the cube form a group of measuring units, and 12 groups of measuring units are obtained. Each fiber vector hydrophone is used for sensing weak three-phase flow noise signals and then transmitting the weak three-phase flow noise signals to the signal processing module through the optical transmission module.

In this embodiment, michelson in the optical fiber vector hydrophone generates an optical interference signal, and an optical fiber of the interferometer is subjected to a change in length by a three-phase flow noise signal, so that the optical interference signal changes, which is equivalent to that the optical fiber vector hydrophone loads the three-phase flow noise signal into a received pulsed light signal and sends the pulsed light signal loaded with the three-phase flow noise signal to the signal processing module, so as to demodulate and extract the three-phase flow noise signal.

The signal processing module is used for demodulating the pulse light signal loaded with the three-phase flow noise signal to obtain a three-phase flow noise signal, calculating the time delay t of the three-phase flow noise signal for 2 three-phase flow noise signals from the same group of measuring units by adopting a correlation method, and calculating the fluid speed of the position of the measuring unit by utilizing the time delay t of the three-phase flow noise signal and the position interval d.

In this embodiment, the method for calculating the time delay of the 2 three-phase flow noise signals from the same group of measurement units by using the correlation method specifically includes: firstly, carrying out equal-length processing on the obtained 2 three-phase flow noise signals x '(n) and y' (n), namely taking sampling data with the same length, wherein the sampling data is insufficient and can be filled with zero; then, fast Fourier transform FFT is respectively carried out on 2 signals x (n) and y (n) obtained by equivalent length processing to obtain corresponding frequency spectrums x (k) and y (k); and then, performing product operation on the two obtained frequency spectrums: gxy ═ x (k) y (k); and finally, performing Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) on the signal obtained by the product to obtain the time delay t to be solved.

The embodiment specifically uses the PGC demodulation technique to demodulate and obtain a three-phase flow noise signal. The PGC demodulation method includes the steps of mixing, low-pass, differentiation, cross multiplication, integration, high-pass, and the like, and is a mature technology in the prior art, and thus, the details are not repeated here.

The directivity of the vector hydrophone shows that when the propagation direction of the three-phase flow noise is parallel to the direction of the axis of the vector hydrophone, the axis has the maximum response, and the characteristic is favorable for improving the precision of the flow velocity and the flow direction.

Since 8 fiber-vector hydrophones are arranged in a cube, 12 groups of measuring units can be formed, and each coordinate axis direction has 4 measuring units. Therefore, for each coordinate axis direction, the fluid velocity average value of 4 measurement units in the direction can be calculated, and the fluid velocity of the fluid in 3 coordinate axis directions can be obtained; and then, the vector sum of the fluid velocities in the directions of 3 coordinate axes is obtained, so that the fluid velocity at the position of the vector sensing module is obtained, and the measurement precision of the flow velocity measurement system can be improved.

In this embodiment, the data processing module is implemented by using an FPGA chip and using an FPGA programming technology.

The position interval d can be actually set according to the type and the measurement accuracy of the fluid to be measured, the fluid speed can be obtained through solving the interval, if the interval is too small, the flow speed calculation condition cannot be met, and if the interval is too large, the noise of flow speed calculation is increased, so that the calculation accuracy of the flow speed is reduced.

The terminal module is provided with a mathematical model matched with the fluid to be measured, and the terminal module is used for representing the fluid flow rates of all the positions of the measuring units on the mathematical model to be displayed. Therefore, the spatial distribution condition of the fluid flow velocity can be displayed more intuitively and stereoscopically through the terminal interface.

In addition, the invention also provides an embodiment of a flow velocity measurement method corresponding to the flow velocity measurement system based on the fiber vector hydrophone, and the flow velocity measurement method comprises the following steps:

step 1, a light emitting module acquires and modulates a light source signal, converts the modulated light signal into a pulse light signal, and transmits the pulse light signal to a vector sensing module through a light transmission module;

the vector sensing module comprises at least one group of measuring units, and each group of measuring units comprises 2 optical fiber vector hydrophones with the position interval of d;

step 2, each fiber vector hydrophone senses a three-phase flow noise signal at the position, generates an interference optical signal by using the three-phase flow noise signal and a pulse optical signal, and transmits the interference optical signal to a signal processing module through an optical transmission module;

step 3, demodulating the received pulse light signals loaded with the three-phase flow noise signals by the signal processing module to obtain three-phase flow noise signals, calculating time delay t of the three-phase flow noise signals for 2 three-phase flow noise signals from the same group of measuring units by adopting a correlation method, calculating the fluid speed of the measuring units in the direction by utilizing the time delay t of the three-phase flow noise signals and the position interval d, and finally integrating the fluid speeds of all the measuring units in the direction as the fluid speed of the position of the vector sensing module;
