Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of marine environmental monitoring and early warning technology, specifically a multi-channel internal wave current early warning system and early warning measurement method. Background Technology

[0002] Internal wave currents pose a serious threat to marine engineering activities. In deep-water drilling operations, internal wave currents can cause platform displacement, riser damage, and subsea wellhead instability. In operations on semi-submersible drilling platforms and anchored oil depots, the sudden, strong shear currents generated by internal wave currents can cause anchor chain breakage and platform drift, potentially resulting in casualties and property damage. During subsea pipeline laying and reconnection operations, internal wave currents can interfere with the precise positioning of pipelines, increasing operational risks and construction difficulty. Furthermore, the presence of internal waves can alter the propagation characteristics of ocean sound waves, severely affecting sonar functionality and interfering with submarine concealment and monitoring technologies.

[0003] Currently, the main shortcomings of monitoring and early warning technologies for internal wave currents are as follows:

[0004] (1) Single monitoring dimension and neglect of parameter coupling: Existing internal wave monitoring mainly relies on a single type of sensor, such as acoustic Doppler velocity profiler (ADCP) or temperature-salinity-depth meter (CTD). A single sensor can only acquire limited parameters such as velocity or temperature-salinity, making it difficult to comprehensively characterize the hydrodynamic features of internal wave flow. ADCP can provide high temporal resolution velocity profile data, but it is not sensitive to changes in density field—while the essence of internal waves is fluctuation in density-stratified fluids, and velocity information alone cannot accurately determine the amplitude and energy of internal waves. CTD can accurately measure the vertical structure of temperature-salinity, but it cannot acquire velocity information in real time. The coupling relationship between the velocity field and the density field is ignored, resulting in a fundamental error in the inversion of internal wave parameters.

[0005] (2) The early warning models are too simplified and lack nonlinear characterization capabilities: Existing internal wave early warning methods are mostly based on simplified theoretical models (such as the KdV equation, eKdV equation, etc.). These models have good predictive capabilities under weak nonlinear conditions, but internal waves in the actual marine environment often exhibit strong nonlinear characteristics, especially in shallow sea shelf areas and internal wave breaking zones. A single theoretical model is difficult to accurately describe the entire process of internal wave generation, propagation, and evolution. Some studies have attempted to use methods such as Gaussian function models to calculate internal solitary wave parameters, but there is still considerable room for improvement in areas such as noise processing of measured data, separation of background flow fields, and characterization of nonlinear effects.

[0006] (3) Poor timeliness of early warning and inability to achieve rolling prediction: Traditional internal wave early warning mostly relies on satellite remote sensing (long revisit period) or numerical prediction models (long calculation time), which is difficult to meet the safety requirements of real-time maritime operations. Moreover, most existing systems are "threshold triggered" type alarms, which can only tell "whether the threshold has been exceeded" and cannot provide prediction information such as "when the internal wave will arrive in the future and how strong it will be".

[0007] (4) Insufficient flexibility of fixed monitoring platforms: Most existing internal wave monitoring systems use fixed buoys or underwater moorings, which can only provide fixed-point data and cannot flexibly adjust the monitoring position according to changes in the marine environment or engineering operation requirements. In offshore engineering operations, the operation point changes continuously with the progress of the project, and fixed monitoring systems can hardly provide real-time internal wave current information for the operation point. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-channel internal wave flow early warning system and its measurement method, which overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies such as "few information dimensions, low accuracy of early warning models, lack of predictive ability, and inflexible deployment".

[0040] Step S5: The main control unit will send the alarm information, which includes the alarm level and the warning time, through the terrestrial mobile communication link in the multi-channel communication module to send the complete alarm information data packet; at the same time, it will send the coded data containing the alarm level and the predicted arrival time to the shore station receiving system through the satellite communication link in the multi-channel communication module.

[0041] Step S6: The shore station receiving system uses the newly acquired measured flow velocity data, temperature and salinity data, and corresponding internal wave event records as incremental training samples to periodically update and train the machine learning model in the machine learning residual correction module.

[0045] Step S2-2: Based on the seawater density Calculate the floating frequency for:

[0046]

[0048] Step S2-3: Combine the vertical shear rate of the flow velocity measured by the acoustic Doppler current profiler with the seawater density. The vertical mode structure and horizontal wavenumber of the internal waves are inverted using the Taylor-Goldstein equation.

[0049] In step S3, the physical model module solves the characteristic equation of the internal wave linear wave, specifically as follows:

The complete data packet (approximately 2KB) is sent via the 4G link first; simultaneously, a simplified code "LV2,71min,0.288,19.2" is sent via BeiDou short message service. The shore station receiving system 5 receives both messages simultaneously within 2 seconds and verifies their accuracy.

[0154] Step S6: Incremental Model Update

[0155] Based on the early warning, the drilling platform shut down the blowout preventer and evacuated personnel in advance. The internal wave actually arrived 71 minutes later, with a measured maximum shear flow of 0.295 s⁻¹ and an amplitude of 20.1 m. The shore-based server added this event as an incremental sample to the training set, and fine-tuned the LSTM model using the most recent 30 internal wave events in the early morning of the following day (learning rate 0.001, training for 3 epochs). The updated model was then deployed to the buoy's master control unit.

[0156] Example 2:

[0157] Twenty minutes before the aforementioned warning event (at 10:00), the shore station, based on a hybrid drive model, predicted that the internal wave would propagate in a southeast-northwest direction and immediately sent a command to the wave glider for intensive observation. The wave glider, from its standby position (2 km from the buoy), headed towards the predicted path, arriving at the designated section at 10:15 and beginning a lateral traverse at a speed of 1 m / s, continuously collecting ADCP and temperature-salinity data from six profiles. After these data were transmitted back, the shore station system deduced the horizontal spatial scale of the internal wave (approximately 800 m) and corrected the arrival time, further improving the accuracy of the warning.

[0158] After six months of comparative testing at sea, this system outperforms the traditional single ADCP threshold alarm method in the following ways:

[0159] The prediction error for internal wave arrival time was reduced from ±15 minutes to ±4 minutes;

[0160] The amplitude prediction error was reduced from ±8m to ±2.5m;

[0161] The false alarm rate decreased from 18% to 3.5%;

[0162] Communication availability (offshore area) increased from 82% to 99.7% (due to automatic switching of redundant channels).

[0163] In summary, this invention achieves accurate inversion of internal wave current parameters, nonlinear correction of phase velocity, dynamic calculation of warning time, and fuzzy logic determination of alarm levels by networking and coordinating fixed buoys and mobile observation devices with a comprehensive ocean profile detection module, and utilizing an embedded hybrid-driven early warning model (physical model + machine learning residual correction). Simultaneously, the adaptive switching and redundant transmission strategy of the multi-channel communication module ensures reliable transmission of early warning information in open seas and under severe weather conditions. The shore-based receiving system continuously optimizes the machine learning model through incremental learning, enabling the system to adapt to environmental changes in different seasons and sea areas. Compared with existing technologies, this invention significantly improves the timeliness, accuracy, and communication reliability of internal wave early warning, providing effective safety guarantees for marine engineering activities such as offshore oil drilling platforms, subsea pipelines, and underwater vehicles.
