Outline of Final Research Achievements

A spread spectrum method which has high performance signal noise ratio of echo signal are applied to the Ultrasonic Velocity Profile (UVP) method. UVP method can be applied and succeeded for complicated flow as short inlet length from the double bent pipe. However, the flow of out-of-plane double bent pipe is more complicated and also more difficult to measure the highly accurate flowrate compare to in-plane double bent pipe. To solve this difficultly, multiple measurement lines are investigated and Fourier transform technique has been applied. Penetrant tastings and flow measurement have been investigated by using phased array ultrasonic technique. Two-dimensional velocity filed measurement has been successfully developed. Experimental data are used for validation commercial computational fluid dynamic code in double bent pipe flow. Then finally a penetrant testing accurate flow rate measurement system in bent pipe flow by using spread spectrum method has been developed.
