Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dune flow measurement, and specifically to a method for measuring the flow rate of a mobile dune using a flow rate measuring device for mobile dunes. Background Art
[0002] The basic structure of a flow rate measuring device for mobile dunes mainly consists of the following parts: Dune measurement unit: This part installs a series of sensors, such as laser scanners or displacement sensors, to monitor the height changes and morphological flow of the dune in real time. The sensors can accurately record the change process of the dune and provide accurate data support. Airflow sensor: Located near the dune, it is used to measure important parameters such as the speed and direction of the airflow. Through these airflow data, the relationship between the wind force and the dune flow can be further analyzed to calculate the flow rate of the dune flow. Data acquisition system and control module: The data acquisition system is responsible for collecting real-time data from each sensor and analyzing and processing it through the control module. The control module can adjust the measurement parameters in real time to ensure the accuracy and consistency of data acquisition. In principle, the measuring device calculates the flow rate of the dune flow through a physical model of the interaction of factors such as wind speed, dune morphology, and slope. The changes in airflow and dune morphology directly affect the evaluation of the flow rate. The flow rate measurement depends on the accurate modeling of the dune dynamics and airflow changes and the dynamic adjustment in combination with the sensor data.
[0003] Although the flow rate measuring device for mobile dunes can effectively measure the flow rate under certain conditions, the system still has several defects: Due to the highly non-linear characteristics of the dune flow, the existing models may not be able to fully capture the complexity of the dune flow. Sensor errors and environmental changes may also lead to deviations in the flow rate measurement. Summary of the Invention

On this basis, a non - linear dynamics model is used to describe the complex interaction between the dune and the airflow, and the sand flow intensity in the dune area is effectively calculated by combining the principles of fluid dynamics. Through the segmented flow calculation method, the local flow is evaluated by combining the characteristics of different regions of the dune, and the flow contributions of each region are weighted and merged, making the overall measurement more accurate and significantly improving the adaptability and accuracy of the system.
