Currently, the volumetric flow rate Q is calculated from these measurements by integrating the 1D profile under the assumption of rotational symmetry. This method delivers reliable results only for fully developed and slightly disturbed flows.
The approach presented here uses a shallow neural network (SNN) to predict the 2D profile based on a 1D path. For this purpose, numerical simulations of pipe flows with disturbances due to different elbow configurations are used to generate a dataset of 2D profiles with corresponding 1D paths.
The performance of the SNN is validated with velocity profiles at different downstream positions from cases not included in and partially outside the parameter space of the training dataset.
The SNN reduces the mean relative error of Q from 1.96 % for the rotationally symmetric approach to 0.35 % considering all investigated cases. In the range of 5 to 10 diameters downstream the disturbance, the SNN delivers an error of 1.23 % instead of 5.31 %.
