High Resolution Measurements of Strained Diffusion and Reaction Layer Structure and Extinction in Turbulent Flows

Abstract

This research program represents a combined experimental and theoretical effort with the following three major objectives: (1) to develop high-resolution, multi-dimensional, quantitative, imaging diagnostic capabilities for obtaining direct experimental measurements of the fine scale structure associated with the molecular mixing and chemical reaction processes in turbulent flow; (2) to use this measurement technique to experimentally determine the physical characteristics of the fine structure associated with molecular mixing and chemical reactions in turbulent flows; and (3) to incorporate results from these measurements into an improved understanding of the molecular mixing, chemical reaction, and local extinction processes in reacting turbulent flows.
