Laser Velocimeter Measurements and Analysis in Turbulent Flows with Combustion. Part I.

Abstract

Laser velocimeter measurements of mean velocities and turbulence parameters were made in a cylindrical simulated dump combustor. Velocity bias errors were eliminated by use of an experimental technique developed in an earlier study. a comparison of mass flux at different downstream locations based on the measured velocity profiles showed good agreement with the inlet mass flux. The measured mean velocity profiles were in good qualitative agreement with predictions based on the 2/E/FIX computer code, although some discrepancies in qualitative values due to code limitations were noted.
