The application discloses a water-retaining sand hydrophobic performance detection method and
system based on impedance
tomography, and belongs to the technical field of material performance electrical detection. The method comprises the following steps: filling a water-retaining
sand sample into an insulating annular container and compacting, injecting liquid
simulation water into the center to simulate dynamic seepage of water, collecting boundary
voltage data to generate a global impedance
data set, constructing a
conductivity distribution inversion model to solve internal
conductivity distribution, outputting a global
conductivity matrix of the water-retaining sand, generating a time-series conductivity evolution
image sequence, establishing a calibration mapping relationship between conductivity and
water content, converting the
water content pixel by pixel to generate a time-series distribution cloud image, extracting
water content statistical features, calculating
water seepage rate,
radial diffusion coefficient, global circumferential segregation degree and hydrophobic
retardation factor to form a hydrophobic performance quantitative
feature set, grading the water-retaining sand hydrophobic performance and identifying abnormal areas to form a hydrophobic performance detection report, and realizing integrated nondestructive characterization of internal water distribution, dynamic seepage and hydrophobic uniformity of the water-retaining sand.
