Advanced Diagnostics and Instrumentation for Chemically Reactive Flow Systems.
Abstract
Progress is reported for the first year of an interdisciplinary program to investigate and develop modern diagnostic techniques for application to reacting flows. Project areas include: (1) development and application of optical probes for species measurements employing tunable ultraviolet, visible and infrared laser sources; (2) development and application of a coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) system for temperature and velocity measurements in a supersonic jet; (3) development of a computed absorption tomography system for species measurements in a plane using a tunable laser source; (4) development of a fast-response temperature monitor, based on line-reversal concepts, applicable to particle-laden high temperature flows; (5) investigation of new quantitative flow visualization concepts, including temporally and spatially resolved species measurements in a plane using laser-induced fluorescence; (6) application of modern diagnostic techniques to a two-dimensional reacting shear layer; (7) development of measurement techniques and a novel facility for investigations of droplet evaporation in turbulent flows; (8) investigation of novel variations of tunable laser absorption spectroscopy yielding spatial resolution, including saturation spectroscopy and ac-Stark effect modulation spectroscopy.
