Utilization of Laser Diagnostics to Evaluate Combustor Models,
Abstract
This paper presents an overview of results obtained in the Combustion Model Evaluation research program being sponsored by the Air Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratories. The characteristics of a bluff-body research combustor used in this program are described. Data obtained with a laser Doppler anemometer system and a coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering system are presented. These results and those obtained with conventional probe devices and flow visualization techniques are compared to both time-averaged and time-dependent calculations of the near-wake region of the bluff-body flow field. The results of computer model experiments of the flow field for different diameter bluff bodies are also presented. (Author)
