[0033] Furthermore, the calculated characteristic parameters such as density and sound velocity are verified, including:

[0034] Compare the calculated characteristic parameters of density and sound velocity with the physical characteristic range of the fluid medium, and when the characteristic parameters exceed the physical characteristic range, mark the abnormal values ​​based on the association model;

[0035] The calculated characteristic parameters of density and sound velocity are associated with the real-time collected pressure and temperature data, and the trend of characteristic parameters changing with pressure and temperature is analyzed to see whether it conforms to the known behavior characteristics of the fluid medium. Based on the analysis results, the associated parameters in the correlation model of pressure, temperature, density and sound velocity are adjusted.

[0036] Furthermore, the step three specifically includes:

[0037] According to the principles of fluid mechanics and acoustics, the flow velocity of the fluid in the pipeline and the time difference between the propagation of sound waves in the fluid downstream and upstream are determined, and a flow velocity calculation model is constructed based on the sound propagation time difference method;

[0038] Determine the required parameter type of the flow rate calculation model, and extract corresponding parameter data from the target parameter data transmission file based on the required parameter type;

[0039] The extracted corresponding parameter data are input into the flow velocity calculation model to obtain the preliminary result of the fluid flow velocity. At the same time, the path length deviation, sound speed deviation and flow velocity deviation are corrected to obtain the fluid flow velocity in the pipeline.

[0040] Furthermore, the flow rate of the fluid in the pipeline also includes: performing data smoothing processing on the flow rate of the fluid in the pipeline based on a weighted moving average method, optimizing based on a time series of the flow rate of the fluid in the pipeline, and obtaining an average flow rate value of the fluid in the pipeline.

[0041] Furthermore, the step 4 of verifying the calculated flow rate of the fluid in the pipeline also includes:

[0093] When the current flow velocity value exceeds the characteristic range, the error type of the flow velocity calculation model is analyzed based on the change trend between the flow velocity and the associated parameters, including abnormal input parameters, unreasonable model coefficient settings, etc.

[0094] In this embodiment, by acquiring historical data and drawing a velocity change curve and a change curve of the velocity and associated parameters, the velocity characteristic value can be effectively analyzed, and the calculation result can be compared with the historical characteristic range. At the same time, the change trend between the velocity and the associated parameters is analyzed, which not only ensures the accuracy and reliability of the velocity calculation results, but also can timely discover and diagnose the potential errors of the velocity calculation model, thereby improving the accuracy of pipeline fluid velocity monitoring, optimizing pipeline operation management, and helping to identify velocity anomalies and prevent possible operational risks. Through the analysis of the model error type, the input parameters or model coefficients can be adjusted in a targeted manner to ensure that the velocity monitoring system adapts to the actual operating conditions of the pipeline, providing an important guarantee for the safe and efficient operation of the pipeline.
