Abstract

The comprehension of the distribution of gaseous species and soot particles plays a pivotal role in investigating the combustion process of a flame. A highly effective method to accomplish this is by extracting visible and near-infrared emission information from flames. In this study, we present a novel near-infrared multi-spectral light field imaging model that enables the concurrent extraction of gas and soot property distributions within a flame. A synthetic test of ethylene diffusion flame is assessed using the proposed reconstruction method. The mole fraction of gaseous water, together with the flame temperature and soot volume fraction, are decoupled spectrally using near-infrared and visible wavelengths. The results demonstrate a reliably retrieved temperature range of 1400 K to 2050 K, accurately reconstructing the actual distributions of soot volume fraction and gaseous water mole fraction. Minor influences on the imaging results and property reconstruction are observed due to uncertainties arising from the reconstruction method, absorption function, reconstruction wavelength for H2O mole fraction, and signal-to-noise ratio. This study serves as a theoretical guide for the future development of practical near-infrared multi-spectral light field imaging techniques for rapid and robust flame diagnostic purposes related to soot and gas properties.
