Hilbert-Optic Diagnostics of Hydrogen-Oxygen Inverse Diffusion Flame

Abstract

The aim of this work is to adapt the methods of optical Hilbert diagnostics for the visualization and study of inverse diffusion H2/O2 flame. The diagnostic complex is implemented on the basis of the IAB-451 device with modified optical filtering. Visualization of phase perturbations induced by the studied medium in a probing multiwave light field is performed via polychromatic Hilbert and Foucault-Hilbert transformations in combination with registration and RGB-per-pixel processing of the dynamic structure of the images. From solution to the inverse problem of Hilbert optics using a physically justified initial approximation of the problem under consideration, the temperature field of the flame is reconstructed and the value of the H2, H2O, O2 and N2 concentrations may be restored.
