A Planar Reacting Shear Layer System for the Study of Fluid Dynamics- Combustion Interaction

Abstract

A versatile planar reacting shear layer (PRSL) facility is constructed. This paper describes the research objectives, as well as design, instrumentations and the operational procedures developed for the systems. The fundamental governing equations and the type of qualitative information that are needed from experiments are described. Additionally, a review of earlier work is presented. Whenever appropriate, comparisons are made with similar systems in other facilities and the main differences are described. Finally, the nonintrusive measurement techniques; PLIF, PMS, LDV and Schlieren photography, and the type of experiments that are planned are described.
