Description

Method for synchronously measuring soil hydrothermal parameters by heating optical fibers in distributed mode
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of soil data processing and measurement, in particular to a method for synchronously measuring soil hydrothermal parameters by heating optical fibers in a distributed mode.
Background
Soil thermal parameters including thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and volumetric heat capacity affect the temperature change and energy migration of the soil, and interact with the water content of the soil and jointly control the water heat exchange and balance in the soil. Accurate measurement of hydrothermal parameters is important for simulation of land models and guidance of accurate irrigation of farmlands. Therefore, the synchronous measurement of the thermal parameters and the water content of the soil is very critical. The current heat pulse probe method is the most favored method for measuring the soil hydrothermal property, but the method can only measure the soil mass with a point scale. However, the soil hydrothermal parameters have strong spatial variability, and the measured data are not strong representative of large-area soil in the field. Therefore, in view of the current situation that the thermal properties and the water content of the soil are inconsistent in the measurement scale (large scale and small scale) and the application scale (field mesoscale), development of a novel technology and a novel method capable of synchronously measuring the soil hydrothermal parameters in the field scale are needed. The rapid development of distributed optical fiber temperature sensing technology (DTS) provides a new idea for synchronous measurement of soil hydrothermal parameters in field scale.
The distributed optical fiber temperature sensing technology DTS is a temperature sensor which is used for measuring temperature based on the Raman scattering effect and is positioned by an optical time domain reflection technology, and the temperature distribution along the optical fiber can be obtained through the back scattering anti-Stokes light and Stokes light intensity ratio. The principle of measuring the water content of soil by using optical fibers can be divided into two types: a passive heating optical fiber method and an active heating optical fiber method. The passive heating optical fiber method is characterized in that the thermal diffusivity is inverted by monitoring the soil temperatures of different soil depths, and then the water content is estimated by the thermal diffusivity, so that the defect of the method is that the optical fiber depth has larger uncertainty, and the solution of the thermal diffusivity has larger error. Therefore, the passive heating method lacks feasibility in field application and popularization.
The active heating optical fiber method (AHFO-DTS) is based on the principle of heat pulse probe, and is to heat the metal layer of optical fiber in short time by heating and analyzing the temperature in heating and cooling stagesThe change of the degree can be used for deducing the water content of soil, and the soil depth can be measured at any time and at any time, so that the method is more widely applied compared with a passive heating optical fiber method. The distributed optical fiber sensing method (DPHP-DTS) based on double-probe heat pulse can measure the thermal conductivity, the thermal diffusivity and the specific heat capacity of soil at the same time, and calculate the water content by utilizing the specific heat capacity, but the measurement accuracy is greatly influenced by the distance between the optical fibers, so that the application of the method is limited. The single probe thermal pulse distributed optical fiber sensing method (SPHP-DTS) only needs to embed 1 optical fiber, so that the defects are avoided, and the single probe thermal pulse distributed optical fiber sensing method is more favored. The method utilizes the theory of single-probe heat pulse linear heat source, a certain section of the optical fiber is regarded as a single probe, and the optical fiber can be regarded as formed by serially connecting innumerable single probes, so that the high space-time resolution monitoring of soil moisture can be realized. The method can directly utilize the time-dependent information of the temperature of the heat pulse, such as the maximum temperature rise (delta T) max ) Cumulative temperature increase value (DeltaT) cum ) The water content is deduced by a functional relation with the soil water content, and the soil water content can be deduced by indirectly measuring the soil heat conductivity (lambda).
Because of the large difference in fiber characteristics from the probe, the fiber optic approach does not meet the assumption of an infinite linear heat source. This results in larger errors in the current fiber optic method for measuring the thermal conductivity and moisture content of the soil, and the two have not been accurately and synchronously measured. According to the application, by comparing and verifying the soil hydrothermal parameters measured by the heating optical fiber method and the probe method, the intrinsic cause of the measurement difference of the heating optical fiber method and the probe method is analyzed, and the accuracy effect of the measurement of the soil hydrothermal parameters by the heating optical fiber method and the probe method is clarified. In addition, the application also establishes a thermal conductivity correction model of the heating optical fiber method, thereby improving the soil hydrothermal parameter measurement precision of the heating optical fiber method.

(1) Performing optical fiber hydrothermal measurement test;
the soil hydrothermal parameters of different lands are measured by using a heat pulse probe and a heating optical fiber method. The 4m long soil tank is equally divided into 5 compartments with the length of 0.8m by a steel plate, 4 soil samples are respectively filled into the 4 compartments, and the soil is compacted and filled in layers for a plurality of times. The test is to test the air-dried soil first, then to fully saturate the soil and to test the saturated soil. After the saturated soil test is completed, the drain hole at the bottom of the soil tank is opened, and the soil hydrothermal parameters from unsaturated to drying process are monitored. The infrared lamp is hung above the soil tank, and the soil evaporation is accelerated by increasing the temperature, so that the soil water reduction rate is accelerated, and the test period is shortened. To avoid the influence of the infrared bulb on the heat pulse caused by the soil heating, the infrared lamp is turned off before the heat pulse starts to make the soil temperatureThe measurement was started when the ambient temperature was reached. The optical fiber is heated for 10min each time, and the heating power is 5 W.m -1 . The soil moisture sensor TDR315 (Acalima Co., USA) is arranged near the optical fiber, the TDR315 is calibrated by a drying method before use, and the water content measuring precision is about 0.03m 3 ·m -3 . When the optical fiber is heated, the temperature change sensed by the optical fiber is recorded through the DTS, and the temperature data is recorded every 5 seconds. Soil moisture was continuously monitored by TDR315 and 1soil moisture data was collected every 5min using data acquisition (CR 1000 model Campbell Scientific, logan, USA).
(2) A probe hydrothermal assay;
and (3) manufacturing a probe: the test is self-made double probes, one of the double probes is a temperature measuring probe, the other is a heating probe, the 2 probes are stainless steel pipes with the length of 40mm and the diameter of 2.8m, and the probe spacing is about 6mm. A thermistor (10K3MCD1,Betatherm Corp. Shrewbury MA) is mounted in the middle of the temperature probe for measuring temperature, and a resistance wire is mounted in the heating needle for releasing Joule heat to the measuring medium. The inside of the probe is filled with insulating material epoxy resin filled grease (Omega engineering, stamford, CT) with high heat conductivity for fixing the heating wire or the thermistor, and the probe is inserted into a hollow tetrafluoro cylinder base and sealed and fixed by epoxy resin.
And (3) probe layout: the heat pulse probe measuring device comprises a data acquisition instrument (powered by a direct-current power supply), a heating circuit (a relay and a heating wire), and an induction circuit (a thermistor and a resistor 1 omega). The data acquisition instrument uses a program control circuit and records temperature data, and a relay as a switch of the circuit, and uses a heating wire (resistance 86 Ω·m -1 ) The soil medium is electrified and heated, the data acquisition instrument can record the voltage generated at the two ends of the 1 omega resistor, so that the current flowing through the heating wire is obtained, and finally the heating quantity can be obtained through calculation. The probe is disposed on the opposite side of the TDR of the fiber attachment. The probe was pulsed for 15s at the same time as the optical fiber was heated (power 45 W.m -1 ) Temperature data were acquired 1 time per second by CR 1000.
(3) Collecting a soil sample;
regarding soil samples, soil samples were from sandy soil (Sand) of Yang Lingwei river, the roquette soil of Yang Ling farmland (Clay loam 1), clay loam of Changwu and qing apple woods (Clay loam2, clay loam 3). And (5) grinding the soil sample after air drying, and sieving with a 2mm sieve for later use. The particle size distribution volume fractions of the soil particles are shown in table 1, and the other 3 kinds of soil except sand are clay loam.
TABLE 1soil particle size distribution volume fraction (%) Table 1Soil particle size distribution volume fraction (%)
(4) DTS temperature measurement principle;
regarding the temperature measurement principle of the distributed optical fiber temperature sensing technology, after pulse pump light with certain energy is injected into an optical fiber, photons and optical fiber molecules collide inelastically to generate 2 beams of back Raman scattered light. Wherein, stokes scattered light with a wavelength greater than that of the incident light is not affected by temperature, and anti-Stokes scattered light with a wavelength less than that of the incident light has a strong temperature dependence. Thus, the temperature can be calculated from the light intensity ratio of Stokes to anti-Stokes, and the distributed temperature measurement can be obtained by locating the travel time of Stokes scattered light. The intensity ratio R (z) of the two back-scattered light beams can be expressed as:
wherein, C is a parameter related to the wavelength and frequency of the emitted light, the back-scattered light, the photon detector of the instrument and the operation condition of the DTS; Δα is the difference in stokes and anti-stokes back-scattered light losses; gamma = Δe/k * Δe is the difference in molecular energy states (J) driving raman scattering; k (k) * Is Boltzmann constant (J.K) -1 );
Therefore, the temperature value of any point z on the optical fiber can be obtained by only marking C, delta alpha and gamma according to a certain section or a certain sections of known reference temperatures on the optical fiber:
the position z of the temperature value on the optical fiber is half of the optical walking path:
wherein c is the speed of light in vacuum (m.s -1 ) The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the v is the refractive index of the fiber cladding; t is t * The time(s) required for light to propagate forward and backward.
The difference in precision of the thermal conductivity of the earth is measured with respect to the optical fiber method and the probe method.
The optical fiber probe method has a difference in the effect of measuring accuracy of moisture for different soil types (fig. 4). For sand, the optical fiber method and the probe method have higher precision for measuring the sand in the whole moisture range. For clay loam, in the low water content range (less than 0.35m 3 ·m -3 ) The optical fiber method has better measurement accuracy. However, in the high water content range, the scatter of the observed value and the predicted value deviates from 1: line 1, which indicates that the measurement error in the high water content range is large. This is because the thermal conductivity gradually decreases as the soil moisture increases in sensitivity. When the water content is high, moisture around the optical fiber tends to migrate due to the temperature gradient, and the moisture measurement error increases. Furthermore, it was found that the thermal conductivity method (λ FO ) Is significantly less accurate than the probe-based thermal conductivity method (lambda HP ) (FIG. 4). Lambda for moisture determination of sandy soil and 3 clay loams FO Law ratio lambda HP The measurement accuracy of the method is respectively lower than 0.01, 0.04, 0.05 and 0.03m 3 ·m -3 . Thus, based on optical fiber lambda FO The method has larger soil moisture measurement error, and the main reason is that the optical fiber method has larger thermal conductivity error, which influences the functional relation between the soil moisture content and the thermal conductivity, so that the soil moisture measurement error is increased. According to the application, the thermal conductivity measured by the optical fiber method is required to be corrected by taking the thermal probe method as a reference, so that the accuracy of measuring the soil moisture by the optical fiber method is improved. It can be seen from the present application that the probe is based onThe thermal conductivity method for measuring the water of different soil types has higher precision, a plurality of students establish a thermal conductivity lambda (theta) model at present, and model parameters have physical significance, thus providing a model foundation for the water measurement of the optical fiber method. Therefore, in the case of accurate thermal conductivity measurement, the optical fiber-based thermal conductivity method has great potential for measuring soil moisture.
The fiber optic method determines the error source of the hydrothermal parameter.
The error sources for measuring the hydrothermal parameters by the optical fiber method mainly comprise the following 4 points, wherein the difference between the structure and the material of the optical fiber and the thermal probe is large, the assumption of infinite linear heat source is not met, and the analysis solution of a heat conduction equation is directly utilized to have errors; secondly, there are multiple interface thermal contact resistances (fiber core-air layer-metal layer-sheath-soil) between the optical fiber and the soil, so that the thermal contact resistance between the optical fiber and the soil is far greater than that between the probe, and therefore the measurement accuracy is greatly affected; in addition, the temperature measurement precision and the sensitivity of the optical fiber to the temperature are far lower than those of the probe, so that certain fluctuation exists in the temperature rise values in the heating and cooling processes, and noise interference is increased; finally, the fiber optic method requires a heat source to input more heat and extends the heating time, producing a higher temperature rise than the probe to improve the signal to noise ratio, and therefore moisture around the fiber may migrate under the influence of the temperature gradient, which may lead to overestimation of the thermal conductivity. Therefore, when the thermal conductivity of the soil is measured by using the optical fiber method, the optical fiber with simple structure, small diameter and good thermal conductivity of the sheath can be selected to be close to a linear heat source, so that the thermal conductivity measurement precision is improved. In addition, when the soil moisture is measured by the optical fiber method, on the premise of accurately measuring the thermal conductivity, the influence of the surrounding moisture migration caused by the too high temperature of the optical fiber is also considered. Note also that, in the case where the measurement environment changes greatly, the measurement error of the soil hydrothermal parameter increases.
The above description is only of the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, but various modifications and variations can be made to the present application by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
