Advanced Diagnostics for Reacting Flows.
Abstract
Progress is reported for the past 4 years of an interdisciplinary program to innovate modern diagnostic techniques applicable to combustion and plasma flows. Research topics include: (1) digital flowfield imaging including 2-d and 3-d temporally resolved species and temperature imaging using planar laser-induced fluorscence (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; and (8) laser interactions with plasmas and combustion gases.
