Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This work investigates the use of Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) for early leak detection in multiphase flow pipelines considering the upstream leaks part (ERT situated before leaks), which tests traditional approaches in dynamic and heterogeneous environments. Experiments with Newtonian (water) and non-Newtonian (0.1 wt% Flozwan) fluids are conducted to explore initially flow regime identification followed by leak-induced fluctuations of air volume fractions under various flow conditions. Three simultaneous chronic leaks—measuring 3, 2.5, and 1.8 mm—in the middle region of a horizontal pipeline. The results showed that ERT could successfully follow dynamic changes of flow behavior in upstream leaks even when it was before the leak and distant from the leak source. The tests revealed that Newtonian fluids allow for greater air dispersion and leak sensitivity in terms of uniform viscosity and turbulence, whereas non-Newtonian fluids allow for less air dispersion and muted system responses due to shear-thinning behavior. These findings emphasize the necessity of fluid rheology for ERT sensitivity while also presenting the technology as a non-invasive, real-time diagnostic methodology for assuring pipeline safety and efficiency.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
