Study the effect of magnetic field on gaseous flames using digital speckle pattern interferometry

An experimental investigation on the behavior of gaseous flames in the presence of magnetic field by using digital speckle pattern interferometry is presented. Premixed, partially premixed and diffusion flames generated by butane torch burner were exposed to the magnetic field of 0.35 Tesla. Phase has been extracted from a single DSPI fringe pattern by the application of Riesz transform and the monogenic signal and from which refractive index and the temperature were calculated. Experimental results show that the temperature and the width of the flames are increased under the influence of magnetic gradient.
