A single leak in a duct can be located, and its size predicted, by measuring the input
impedance of the duct and then solving an inverse problem. However, extending this
procedure to a duct containing several leaks is non-trivial, with the resulting mathematical
expressions proving to be highly complex.
In this paper, an optimisation approach to the location and sizing of multiple leaks
in a duct is described. The approach employs a standard theoretical model of a duct
that contains several leaks. The initial parameters of the duct model (e.g. duct radius,
number of leaks, leak positions and sizes) are chosen arbitrarily. An optimisation
function then adjusts the parameters of the model until its input impedance matches
the measured impedance of the duct under investigation. Results are presented which
demonstrate the success of this optimisation approach in both locating and sizing
multiple leaks in a duct. |
