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 alpha(min) and alpha(max) serving as characteristic parameters of the multifractal flames. These two characteristic multifractal parameters vary with respect to different experimental conditions. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
