Title: Experimental measurements and techniques in turbulent reactive and non-reactive flows; Proceedings of the Winter Annual Meeting, New Orleans, LA, December 9-14, 1984

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5495322

Laser-based diagnostics for flowfield measurements are discussed along with considerations for the application of CARS to turbulent reacting flows, Raman measurements of surface deposition from combustion flows, laser light scattering methods for simultaneous particle size and velocity measurements, and the characterization of sprays. Attention is given to concentration distributions in cylindrical combustors, scalar and momentum turbulent transport experiments with swirling and nonswirling flows, velocity and concentration measurements in a model diesel engine, an LDV system for turbulence length scale measurements, and laser measurement techniques applied to turbulent combustion in piston engines. Other topics explored are related to the role of vortex shedding in a bluff-body combustor, the structure and dynamics of reacting two stream plane mixing layers, conditional sampling of velocity and scalars in turbulent flames using simultaneous LDV-Raman scattering, and an investigation of temperature and velocity correlations in turbulent flames.
