This paper addresses the challenge of accurately measuring liquid level interfaces in multiphase mixed media by proposing a detection method based on ultrasonic transmission. First, a mathematical model of the ultrasonic measurement system was established, and the acoustic field characteristics of transducers with different frequencies and diameters in slurry were simulated and analyzed to determine the optimal excitation frequency and probe diameter. On this basis, an echo sound pressure calculation model based on the side-incidence method was constructed, and a formula for calculating the liquid level interface height was derived. Finally, an experimental test platform with a multi-layer steel container was built to measure the propagation velocity, attenuation coefficient, and acoustic impedance coefficient of ultrasound in the slurry, verifying the feasibility of the liquid level interface measurement method.

Echo
Imagine the sound is reflected back to the ears. Assuming that the source is very close to the human, the difference between hearing the two sounds—the emitted sound and the reflected sound—may be more than the minimum time for perceiving distinct sounds. If this is the case, then the...
