In this work a 3D flame reconstruction is performed from a 2D projection of the hot gases of a combustion flame. The projection is obtained using an optical schlieren technique. In this technique, a schlieren image is integrated linearly to obtain the hot gases, and then, a temperature field. Each row of the matrix representing the temperature distribution is fitted with a specific function, and its respective error is calculated. In this way, the projected matrix can be represented with the fitted functions. As a result of the procedure used in this research, a slice of the flame is obtained by assuming a cylindrical symmetry of it and multiplying the fitted function by itself. Finally, it was evaluated the mean error in calculations of temperature intensity in the flame under the cylindrical symmetry assumption obtaining an accuracy of 96% which validates the efficiency of our method.
Key words: 3D flame reconstruction / Schlieren technique
