Title: Visualization of turbulent flame fronts with planar laser-induced fluroescence

Journal Article · · Science (Washington, D.C.); (United States)

The quantitative time-resolved visualization of reaction zones in laminar, transitional, and turbulent nonpremixed flames is discussed. Two-dimensional OH molecular concentrations were measured with planar laser-induced fluorescence excited by a sheet of light (formed from a single tunable ultraviolet laser pulse) and detected with a two-dimensional, image-intensified photodiode array camera. From the resulting data details of instantaneous flame front structures (including positions, shapes, and widths) were obtained.
