Abstract

This paper analyzes the vibration signals on the surface of the fluid-conveying pipelines so as to monitor the state of pipelines, and study the impact of fouling on these pipelines. Wireless acceleration sensors are deployed on pipelines’ surfaces to detect the vibration signals under different states. According to the real data from the test experiments, a model is implemented in ANSYS. On this basis, extensive simulation is conducted. The simulation results compare with real test data to verify the efficiency of the model.
