• Abstract: In multiphase flow systems, classifying flow patterns is crucial to optimize fluid dynamics and enhance system efficiency. Current industrial methods and scientific laboratories mainly depend on techniques such as flow visualization using regular cameras or the naked eye, as well as high-speed imaging at elevated flow rates. These methods are limited by their reliance on subjective interpretations and are particularly applicable in transparent pipes. Consequently, conventional techniques usually achieve context-dependent accuracy rates and often lack generalizability. This study introduces a novel platform that integrates a capacitance sensor and AI-driven classification methods, benchmarked against traditional techniques. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach, utilizing a 1D SENet deep learning model, achieves over 85\% accuracy on experiment-based datasets and 71\% accuracy on pattern-based datasets. These results highlight significant improvements in robustness and reliability compared to existing methodologies. This work offers a transformative pathway for real-time flow monitoring and predictive modeling, addressing key challenges in industrial applications.

  This paper explores how learning methods can be applied to sustain the prediction accuracy of steady-state virtual flow meters. Two passive learning methods, periodic batch learning and online learning, are applied with varying calibration frequency to train virtual flow meters. The results are two-fold: first, in the presence of frequently arriving measurements, frequent model updating sustains an excellent prediction performance over time; second, in the presence of intermittent and infrequently arriving measurements, frequent updating is essential to increase the performance accuracy.
