MULTIFRACTAL ANALYSIS OF PARTICLE-FLUID SYSTEM IN A CIRCULATING FLUIDIZED BED

摘要

In this paper, multifractal analysis together with wavelet transform modulus maxima (WTMM) method is used to analyze the fluctuating signals of circulating fluidized bed (CFB). Singularity spectrum shows that the gas-particle flow in CFB has multifractal character. Motion behavior of the particle-fluid system of CFB can be described by singularity spectrum. Intermittency index can be used to determine the transition of flow regime from fast fluidization to pneumatic conveying.
