Investigation of Particle Flow Field in Pyrotechnic Flame Based on Particle Image and Particle Velocity

Abstract:

Study on burning particles in flame can help us to grasp the pyrotechnic decomposition mechanism. The high speed video (HSV) and particle image velocity (PIV) were used in this paper to analyze the flow field consist of high temperature burning particles during pyrotechnic combustion. The binary image was obtained through grayscale treatment and adaptive threshold segmentation from HSV and PIV data, by which the coordinate of each particle was marked. On the basis, the movement trajectory of each particle during combustion was pursued by the most recent guidelines algorithm of cancroids matching. Through the method proposed in this study, the velocity variation of each particle was obtained, the approximate distribution of particle quantity at each zone was visualized and the mathematical model of pyrotechnic particle velocity flow field was established.
