Laser and Imaging Systems for the Study of High-Temperature Laminar Flames in Shock Tubes

Abstract

The Hanson Research Group at Stanford University acquired the following laser and imaging equipment to enable transformational advances in state-of-the-art studies of the speed and structure of laminar flames at high-temperature, engine-relevant conditions: 1. High-Energy Pulsed Laser for Igniting Laminar Flames in a Shock Tube 2. Imaging and Laser Systems for Multi-Spectral, Multi-Species Imaging of Flame Structure The equipment has had an immediate impact on the pace of combustion research by supporting the highest-ever temperature studies of laminar flames, covering the entire engine-relevant regime of temperatures. Additionally, the equipment has helped refine the shock-tube flame speed method, enabling study of non-ideal flame behavior and confinement effects.
