| dc.description.abstract | Este estudio desarrolla un modelo robusto de aprendizaje automático basado en redes neuronales artificiales para clasificar seis patrones de flujo en el flujo bifásico de petróleo y agua dentro de tuberías horizontales, un aspecto clave para garantizar la eficiencia operativa, la integridad y un diseño rentable en la industria del petróleo y el gas. Se recopiló una base de datos compuesta por 1.846 puntos de datos experimentales a partir de la bibliografía, que abarcaba
diversas condiciones de funcionamiento, incluidas las propiedades de los fluidos, las velocidades superficiales y los diámetros de las tuberías. Tras evaluar 104 configuraciones de red, se seleccionó el modelo óptimo, que alcanzó una precisión global del 95,4 %, con precisiones de entrenamiento, validación y prueba del 97,1 %, 92,8 % y 90,3 %, respectivamente, y un error de entropía cruzada de 0,024. El modelo demostró una rápida convergencia con un tiempo de entrenamiento de solo 2 s, lo que lo convierte en una herramienta fiable y computacionalmente eficiente para el reconocimiento de patrones de flujo. Los resultados de este estudio aportan un valor significativo para mejorar el diseño de tuberías, optimizar las estrategias de garantía de flujo, mejorar el control de la corrosión y respaldar la toma de decisiones operativas en tiempo real en sistemas de transporte multifásico en la industria del petróleo y el gas. | en_US |

| dc.description.abstractenglish | This study develops a robust machine learning model based on artificial neural networks to classify six flow patterns in oil-water two-phase flow within horizontal pipelines, a key aspect for ensuring operational efficiency, integrity, and cost-effective design in the oil and gas industry. A database comprising 1,846 experimental data points was assembled from the literature, encompassing
various operating conditions, including fluid properties, superficial velocities, and pipe diameters. After evaluating 104 network configurations, the optimal model was selected, achieving an overall accuracy of 95.4%, with training, validation, and testing accuracies of 97.1%, 92.8%, and 90.3%, respectively, and a cross-entropy error of 0.024. The model demonstrated rapid convergence with a training time of only 2 s, making it a reliable and computationally efficient tool for flow pattern recognition. The outcomes of this study provide significant value for improving pipeline design, optimizing flow assurance strategies, enhancing corrosion control, and supporting real-time operational decision-making in multiphase transport systems in the oil and gas industry. | en_US |
