Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of port engineering monitoring, in particular to a full-bay high-pile wharf scouring trend prediction method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, full-bay high-pile wharfs are widely used in port engineering construction due to their stable structure and strong adaptability. The safety operation of the wharf is closely related to the scouring and deposition state of the seabed. Scouring of the seabed can lead to insufficient depth of the pile foundation, causing structural instability, while deposition can affect the navigation capacity of the wharf and the stress balance of the structure. Therefore, continuous monitoring and trend prediction of the scouring and deposition state of the seabed around the pile foundation are crucial to ensure the long-term safe operation of the wharf.

[0003] Currently, there are two major difficulties in the scouring and deposition monitoring and prediction of full-bay high-pile wharfs. On the one hand, there are significant limitations in equipment deployment. Traditional monitoring relies on an array of rigid sensors, but the dense pile foundation of full-bay high-pile wharfs and the narrow underwater space make it difficult to arrange sensors reasonably, resulting in large blind areas. At the same time, the strong turbulence in the underwater environment of the wharf can cause sensor drift, poor data stability, and an inability to accurately capture dynamic evolution details such as instantaneous scouring caused by local vortices, making it difficult to meet the seamless monitoring needs of the entire cross-section.

[0004] On the other hand, existing prediction models have obvious defects. Current prediction methods are mostly based on historical statistical data or simplified hydrodynamic equations, without fully considering the riverbed-flow coupling effect and integrating real-time monitoring data, resulting in large fluctuations in prediction errors, usually exceeding 20%. In addition, the model parameter update cycle is long, and it cannot quickly respond to short-term extreme hydrological events such as tidal mutations, making it difficult to accurately predict short-term scouring and deposition trends and provide timely and effective decision support for wharf operation and maintenance.

[0005] To solve the above problems, related fields have tried to optimize sensor deployment or improve prediction models, but none of them have formed a systematic solution for the structural characteristics of full-bay high-pile wharfs. Sensor deployment still cannot break through the spatial limitations caused by dense pile foundations, and the monitoring accuracy and coverage are insufficient; the prediction model has not effectively integrated real-time data and physical mechanisms, and the short-term prediction accuracy and dynamic response capability need to be improved, making it difficult to meet the actual needs of accurate monitoring, reliable prediction, and timely warning of scouring and deposition state for wharf safety operation.

[0029] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the scour trend prediction system architecture for a full-span high-pile wharf. Detailed Implementation

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0031] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, this invention discloses a method for predicting the scour trend of a full-span high-pile wharf, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0032] Step (1): Construct an embedded ultrasonic array monitoring system, deploy ultrasonic probes according to the risk distribution of underwater structure scour at the wharf, and optimize probe installation parameters and array topology;

[0033] The ultrasonic probes are deployed on the front and rear supports of each rack, as well as at the junction of adjacent racks. The array topology is optimized through finite element simulation. The optimization of the array topology specifically includes optimizing the probe operating frequency, deployment spacing, and pointing angle through water tank simulation and numerical analysis. The embedded ultrasonic array operates in a multi-unit collaborative scanning mode.

[0034] Specifically, the zoning layout scheme is arranged as follows:

[0035] For the front abutment (facing the flow): 53 main probes are set up according to the frame unit, and 26 auxiliary probes are added at the junction of adjacent frames to focus on covering the gaps between pile groups (which are prone to forming eddy current zones). The probe spacing is 1.2m to form a "main-auxiliary" cross monitoring network.

[0036] For the rear abutment (backflow surface): due to the gradual change in sedimentation, one main probe is installed for every two frame units, for a total of 27 probes. No auxiliary probes are added at the junctions. The probe spacing is 2.4m.

[0037] For the corner of the dock (area where the water flow direction changes abruptly): 8 additional wide-angle probes (pointing angle 150°) are installed to cover the blind spots of traditional probes.

[0038] The optimization array topology is simulated by finite element simulation, specifically including: adopting ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS APDL joint simulation, first simulating the underwater flow field distribution (flow velocity, vortex intensity) of the wharf to determine 12 high-risk scour points; then establishing a three-dimensional model of the ultrasonic array, setting the sound velocity of water to 1500 m / s and the sound velocity of riverbed sediment to 1800 m / s, simulating the sound wave propagation path and reflected signal intensity;

[0039] Based on the optimization results, the probe spacing is adjusted from 1.5 m to 1.2 m (front pile cap), and the monitoring blind area coverage rate is reduced from the initial 6.8% to 2.9%; by increasing the wide-angle probe, the blind area at the corner of the wharf is completely eliminated, and finally the monitoring blind area coverage rate of the whole wharf is controlled at 2.1%, meeting the design requirement of ≤5%.

[0040] Step (2), collecting multi-dimensional monitoring data, including acoustic data and environmental parameters, the acoustic data being obtained by the ultrasonic probe.

[0041] Further, in step (2), the acoustic data includes echo time delay, amplitude attenuation rate and frequency offset, and the environmental parameters include hydrological data and meteorological correlation parameters; the hydrological data includes flow velocity, flow direction, tidal level and sediment concentration, and the meteorological correlation parameters include wind speed and wave height.

[0042] In order to realize effective collection of multi-dimensional monitoring data, each monitoring unit is configured with one data acquisition terminal (integrated with the array control module), and the acquisition frequency can be dynamically adjusted: 1 time / minute under normal working conditions, 1 time / 10 seconds in typhoon season (wind speed ≥10 m / s), to ensure the timeliness of data in extreme environment.

[0043] The data transmission link adopts a three-level transmission architecture of "edge node-land-based base station-cloud platform", specifically, the edge node acquisition terminal aggregates the probe data in the unit through RS485 bus, and completes preliminary noise reduction based on mean filtering;

[0044] The land-based base station is deployed with several 4G / 5G base stations, which receive edge node data through LoRa wireless communication and store them to the local server synchronously;

[0045] The cloud platform uses Aliyun server, and the land-based base station pushes complete data to the cloud once every preset time for remote access and data analysis by the cloud platform.

[0048] The 1. wavelet threshold denoising adopts a Symlet5 base function to perform 5-layer wavelet decomposition on the echo signal, and the coefficients of each layer after decomposition are processed using a heuristic threshold (Heuristic SURE), and the threshold calculation is wherein N is the signal length; is the standard deviation of the noise);

[0049] The echo path discrimination separates the reflected waves using a cross-correlation algorithm formula wherein is the time delay, x(t) is the original ultrasonic pulse signal emitted by the probe (such as the sound wave emitted by the probe), and y(t+τ) is the received mixed echo signal (containing direct waves, pile foundation reflected waves, and riverbed reflected waves); the cross-correlation algorithm is used to calculate the cross-correlation coefficient of the original signal and the reference signal, i.e., the mixed echo signal, a cross-correlation coefficient range is set, direct waves, pile foundation reflected waves, and riverbed reflected waves are distinguished, and accurate separation of the three types of echoes is achieved.

[0050] The acoustic impedance inversion is achieved by calculating the reflection coefficient, and the calculation formula of the reflection coefficient is wherein , is the medium density, , is the acoustic impedance of the adjacent medium; specifically, the sound pressure distribution under different deposition thicknesses is simulated, the riverbed reflected wave sound pressure amplitude is extracted, and the deposition thickness is inverted in combination with the reflection coefficient formula.

[0051] Further, the monitoring data is classified into patterns using shallow water acoustic modeling and scour mechanism identification algorithms, and normal deposition fluctuations and abnormal scour events are distinguished, the monitoring data is first transmitted to a shore-based data processing module for waveform analysis, noise suppression, and echo peak identification, and then combined with historical monitoring sequences to construct a scour evolution trend curve.

[0052] The shallow water acoustic modeling specifically includes building a three-dimensional layered model for the shallow water environment, inputting real-time parameters to correct the sound speed and attenuation coefficient, setting the pile foundation (hard boundary), the pile cap (gradual boundary), and the riverbed (layered boundary) and correcting the multi-path error; the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is used to solve the acoustic wave equation, and the simulation results show that under normal deposition conditions, only a single riverbed interface echo peak appears, and under abnormal scour events, there are echo missing sections or multi-interface chaotic echoes, which provide characteristic basis for subsequent mechanism identification.

[0053] The flushing mechanism recognition algorithm specifically includes distinguishing events in "feature extraction + secondary classification": extracting three types of features of interface stability, sound field distribution, and dynamic change, the secondary classification includes primary judgment by 1000+ sample random forest (accuracy > 95%), and secondary false anomaly elimination according to historical threshold, and output of an event report containing the basis.

[0054] In step (4), an improved dynamic weighted moving average (DWMA) model is used to predict the current sedimentation state based on the monitoring data processed in the whole process by combining a time decay weight and a Kalman filter residual correction term.

[0055] Further, in step (4), the calculation formula of the dynamic weighted moving average (DWMA) model is: , wherein is the local flushing depth at time t, is a model calibration coefficient, is the number of ultrasonic probes participating in the calculation, is a time decay weight, is the echo delay change of the i-th probe, is a spatial adaptation coefficient, is the sound speed of the i-th probe after temperature and salinity compensation correction, is the initial flushing depth (reference depth), is a random error term.

[0056] Further, in step (4), the calculation formula of the time decay weight is: , wherein t is the time, is the time of the i-th event or data point, and is the historical time; the space adaptation coefficient is adapted by optimizing the space adaptation coefficient, and the local flushing rate difference is combined with the multi-probe collaborative inversion to correct the sensor drift error by means of Kalman filter.

[0057] In step (5), an improved LSTM physical hybrid model is constructed to fuse the hydrodynamic term and the data-driven term, set adaptive weight and sliding time window for incremental training, predict the risk index based on the current sedimentation state to realize graded warning, and access the digital twin platform for visual presentation.

[0058] Further, in step (5), the calculation formula of the LSTM physical hybrid model is: , wherein is the hydrodynamic term, u is the flow velocity vector (real-time monitoring input), and H is the flushing depth, is the hydrodynamic term weight coefficient, is the feature mapping function of the LSTM model, for the sediment concentration, for the pile foundation vibration spectrum, for the dynamic noise suppression term weight, for the dynamic noise suppression term, the noise suppression term is dynamically adjusted based on Kalman filter residual, and the interference of environmental noise on prediction is suppressed.

[0059] The LSTM network, the input layer is the sediment concentration, the pile foundation vibration spectrum (set frequency range, extract a certain number of characteristic values), the past sediment thickness sequence for a certain length of time, the hidden layer is set to a certain number of layers (each layer is set to a certain number of neurons), and the output layer is the predicted value of the scour rate, and the weight is adjusted through an adaptive algorithm

[0060] Further, in the step (5), the LSTM physical hybrid model adopts an incremental training mechanism, and a hierarchical warning threshold is determined based on the classification results of normal deposition fluctuations and abnormal scour events, and the seabed morphology changes are presented in a three-dimensional visual form through a digital twin platform.

[0061] The risk index is calculated in real time, and the formula is The calculation is as follows: wherein According to the safety standard of the wharf pile foundation (the scour depth exceeding the value is easy to lead to the instability of the pile foundation), k is a trend sensitive coefficient, The scour rate is set to a threshold range corresponding to different risk levels, respectively corresponding to a safe state, an attention state and a warning state; when the risk index reaches the warning threshold, the corresponding warning is triggered.

[0062] The digital twin platform accesses the monitoring data and the prediction results in real time, and the scour risk areas are marked with different colors in the three-dimensional interface, corresponding to different risk levels, and the real-time data and historical trend curves can be viewed by clicking any monitoring point, the real-time data including the deposition thickness, the flow rate, the risk index and the like; when the warning is triggered, the platform automatically sends a message and a push notification to the mobile phone APP of the operation and maintenance personnel, including the warning position, the risk level, the recommended measures such as riprap protection and flow rate monitoring encryption, and the control response time is within a set range.
