Advanced Diagnostics for Reacting Flows.
Abstract
Progress is reported for the past year of an interdisciplinary program to innovate modern diagnostic techniques applicable to combustion and plasma flows. Research topics include: (1) digital flowfield imaging, including temporally and spatially resolved species and temperature imaging using planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF); (2) quantitative particle imaging in spray flames using planar Mie scattering (PMS); (3) quantitative velocity and pressure imaging using variations of PLIF; (4) advanced solid state camera/computer systems for high speed and high resolution recording, processing and display of flow image data; (5) fiber optic absorption/fluorescence sensors employing tunable UV, visible and IR laser sources for species measurements; (6) laser wavelength modulation spectroscopy, using rapid-scanning UV, visible and IR laser sources, for absorption and fluorescence measurements of species, temperature and absorption lineshapes; (7) plasma diagnostics utilizing laser induced fluorescence and wavelength modulation techniques; (8) laser interactions with plasmas and combustion gases; and (9) investigation of other new diagnostic concepts.
