Spectroscopic Characterization of Novel Propellant Combustion
Abstract
Over the last 5 years the PI has built a collaborative research program devoted to characterizing combustion of novel propellants with advanced laser diagnostics via his 2017 AFOSR YIP Award in Dr. Mitat Birkan’s AFOSR program. This work has led to 16 publications thus far describing the development of new laser absorption diagnostics for measuring temperature and a wide range of species (e.g., CO, CO2, H2O, HCl, HF, NO) in propellant flames, fireballs of energetic materials, and even rotating detonation rocket engines. Notably, the PI’s ultrafast laser absorption (ULAS) diagnostic is in the process of being transitioned to Sandia National Labs to study fireballs and hypersonic shock layers.
