Abstract
The inverse diffusion flame (IDF) can experience thermoacoustic instability due to variations in power input or flow conditions. However, the dynamical transitions in IDF that lead to this instability when altering control parameters have not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we explore the control parameters through two different approaches and employ multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis to characterize the transitions observed prior to the onset of thermoacoustic instability in the inverse diffusion flame. Our findings reveal a loss of multifractality near the region associated with thermoacoustic instability, which suggests a more ordered behavior. We determine that the singularity exponent, the width of the multifractal spectrum, and the Hurst exponent are reliable indicators of thermoacoustic instability and serve as effective classifiers of dynamical states in inverse diffusion flames.
