Abstract: There has been extensive research into developments of methods to infer interior flow conditions and hydraulic conditions of pipeline networks. The goal of the presented work is to demonstrate how fibre-optic cables may be installed on the interior wall of partially-filled pipe networks to continuously monitor these flow conditions. Analytical models of cable signal response will be used in conjunction with Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) derived turbulence-induced near-wall pressure pulsations to compare against experimentally obtained cable data, with statistical algorithms applied to model-produced data to infer underlying flow properties.
