By definition a flame is an area of combining gases so, as you say, it
is still a diffuse flame if the air is being injected into a volume of
fuel gas.

This became very apparent with a forced air vortex with the air
entering tangentially from the outside, because the mixing was good
the purplish flame appears to be suspended in the centre of the
vortex.
