Advanced Diagnostics and Instrumentation for Chemically Reactive Flow Systems.
Abstract
Progress is reported at the completion of two years of an interdisciplinary program to investigate and establish modern diagnostic techniques for application to reacting flows. Project areas include: (1) optical probes for species measurements employing tunable ultraviolet, visible and infrared laser sources; (2) coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) for temperature and velocity measurements in a supersonic jet; (3) computed absorption tomography for species measurements in a plane; (4) particle sizing techniques, especially for rocket exhausts; (5) fast-response temperature monitor, based on line-reversal concepts; (6) quantitative flow visualization, including temporally and spatially resolved species measurements in a plane using laser-induced fluorescence; (7) multiple-point velocity visualization; (8) application of modern diagnostics to a two-dimensional reacting shear layer; (9) development of measurement techniques and a novel facility for investigations of droplet evaporation in turbulent flows; (10) holographic display techniques for 3-D visualization of flowfield data; (11) spatially resolved laser absorption spectroscopy using optical Stark shifting; and (12) fast-scanning dye laser for measurements of species, temperature and fundamental spectral parameters.
