Dynamic Combustion Studies Using Advanced Optical Diagnostics. Volume 1. Experimental Studies.
Abstract
Computer models of turbulent mixing and combustion suffer from many limitations, deficiencies, and errors. To evaluate and refine them, an experimental research program was started (a) to develop a combustion test facility and optical diagnostics, (b) to perform turbulent mixing and combustion experiments, and (c) to provide a database for modeling needs. This final report describes the combustion test facility and the optical instrumentation, namely a Laser Doppler Anemometer (LDA), and a Laser Raman/Rayleigh Spectroscopy (LRS) system. The problem areas, error analysis, and data reproducibility of these optical techniques are discussed. Keywords: Turbulent combustion; Jet flows; Recirculatory combustion; Nonreacting flows; Bluff-body; Near wake. (jes)
