Hurst’s analysis to detect fluctuation of the jet in a two-dimensional fluidized bed

The experimental study of vertical jet in a two-dimensional fluidized bed is presented. The time series of vertical jet penetration depth are acquired by image processing. The fluctuation of jet which is studied by means of Hurst’s analysis becomes weaker with increase in jet velocity, fluidization number, particle diameter and static bed height. They are found that the signal is persistent and the fractal dimensional of vertical jet is between 1. 19 and 1. 64.
