Advanced Diagnostics for Reacting Flows

Abstract

Recent advances in this program's research and development of non-intrusive diagnostics for air-breathing combustion applications are reported. Progress is highlighted on: the validation of infrared-planar laser induced fluorescence (IR-PLIF) models for quantitative CO2 detection; quantitative NO PLIF in high-pressure flames; increased tunable diode laser (TDL) absorption sensor temperature fidelity in scramjet flowfields using wavelength-modulation techniques; differential-absorption with novel new light sources in the mid-IR for fuel sensing; use of wavelength-multiplexed TDL sensing for gas temperature in non-uniform flow fields; and advances in toluene photophysics to enable tracer-based PLIF imaging of temperature fields.
