CLASSIFICATION OF FLOW PATTERNS IN TWO-PHASE FLOW BY FUZZY SIMULATOR
Yoshiyuki Yamashita, Shigeru Matsumoto, Mutsumi Suzuki · Chemical Engineering Communications · 1987
A new attempt, based on the fuzzy reasoning, is proposed for prediction of flow patterns occurring in a given situation. The prediction algorithm is implemented in a fuzzy expert system INSURE, which is provided for execution of fuzzy inference based on the fuzzy-rule base. The rule base is constructed from experimental data only in literature and/or laboratory. The prediction system is tested for horizontal flow of air-water system. It is shown that the satisfactory performance can be obtained.
