High-Speed Intensified Imaging System for Studies of Mixing and Combustion in Supersonic Flows and Hydrocarbon-Flame Structure Measurements at Elevated Pressures

Abstract

This report summarizes the acquisition and development of equipment, instrumentation, software, and their networking to augment optical diagnostics employed in supersonic reacting and non-reacting flow experiments. A high-speed camera system and image intensifier were acquired and integrated into the computer-controlled data-acquisition system of the Supersonic Shear-Layer facility at Caltech. Experiments to date have made use of this equipment, extending previous capabilities to high-speed schlieren quantitative flow visualization and image correlation velocimetry, with further experiments currently in progress.
