A method how to determine parameters arising in a smoldering evolution equation by image segmentation for experiment's movies

Abstract Full Text(HTML) Figure(6) / Table(1) Related Papers Cited by
  • We propose a simple and accurate procedure how to extract the values of model parameters in a flame/smoldering evolution equation from 2D movie images of real experiments. The procedure includes a novel method of image segmentation, which can detect an expanding smoldering front as a plane polygonal curve. The evolution equation is equivalent to the so-called Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation in a certain scale. Our results suggest a valid range of parameters in the KS equation as well as the validity of the KS equation itself.

  • Figure 1.  The photographs depict snapshots from an experimental movie of spreading flame/smoldering front along a sheet of paper placed near the floor at 200th, 400th, 1000th, 1600th, $ \cdots $, 4000th frames at the rate of 30 fps. Experiments were performed by the same method as [5]

    Figure 2.  The left figure depicts numerical solutions to (1), with the normal velocity (2) in which the parameters are given by the right table and $ W $ is chosen for controlling the grid-point spacing to be uniform (see section 3). The solution curves evolve from inside to outside. The initial curve is a circle with the diameter $ R = R_\mathrm{ini} $ with 10% noise (see [4] in detail)

    Figure 4.  The upper-left figure depicts selected segmentation curves at frames: 400, 1000, 1600, 2200, 2800, 3400, 4000, summarizing the front evolution in the other photographs from left to right, upper to lower. The blue curve in each photograph is a segmentation curve, and the background vague region is the same as that in FIGURE 1

(Right) The enclosed area $ \tilde{A} [\mathrm{mm}^2] $ vs. the actual time $ [\mathrm{second}] $. Blue points indicate the actual values and red curves are the graphs of (23) and (24), respectively
