Abstract

The present invention discloses a negative pressure wave monitoring based leak detection method of a multipath pipeline network, including: analyzing a propagation process of a negative pressure wave in a single straight pipeline to obtain a calculated result of a sound velocity in a thin-walled pipe marking the pressure sensors at known disposing positions on a pipeline network map; linearly interpolating position coordinates of key nodes in the pipeline network to extend pipeline network information; resolving the time that a negative pressure wave signal generated by a leak propagates to each disposed RTUs to form a data column; and simulating a leak situation, detecting a pipeline pressure waveform by using the RTUs in a current network, and determining a point corresponding to the data column closest to a measured propagation time delay in the time delay standard library as a leak point, and outputting the position of the leak point.
