Turbulent Reacting Flows and Supersonic Combustion
Abstract
An experimental and computational investigation of supersonic combustion flows was carried out. The principal objective of the research was to gain a more fundamental understanding of mixing and chemical reaction in supersonic flows. The research effort comprised three inter-related elements: (1) an experimental study of mixing and combustion in a supersonic plane mixing layer; (2) development of laser-induced fluorescence techniques for time- resolved two-dimensional imaging of species concentration, temperature and velocity; and (3) numerical simulations of compressible reacting flows. The specific objectives and the results of the research is summarized. (jhd)
