Abstract

On a laboratory-scale testing platform of an impinging entrained-flow gasifier with four opposed burners, the flame images for diesel combustion and gasification process were recorded with a single charge coupled device (CCD) camera. The two-dimensional multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis was employed to investigate the multifractal nature of the flame images. Sound power-law scaling relations in the annealed average of detrended fluctuations were unveiled when the order q>0, and the multifractal feature of flame images was confirmed. Further analyses identified two multifractal parameters, the minimum and maximum singularities αmin⁡ and αmax⁡, serving as characteristic parameters of the multifractal flames. These two characteristic multifractal parameters vary with respect to different experimental conditions.
