Fractal Analysis of Raceway Boundary in Blast Furnace Model

Abstract:

The raceway boundary described with contour field is coarse and fragmentized, but all of previous studies are based on Euclidean geometry. In this paper, particle velocity contour has been developed to define the raceway boundary. Then the fractal method of calculating raceway size, which describe boundary with extremely un-regular or fragment characteristic, is brought forward in physical model. The results show that the precise raceway boundary can be obtained by particle velocity contour.
