Quantitative three-dimensional imaging of soot volume fraction in turbulent non-premixed flames
نویسنده
چکیده
A three-dimensional (3-D) imaging system for studies of reactive and non-reactive flows is described. It can be used to reveal the topology of turbulent structures and to extract 3-D quantities, such as concentration gradients. Measurements are performed using a high repetition rate laser and detector system in combination with a scanning mirror. In this study, the system is used for laserinduced incandescence measurements to obtain quantitative 3-D soot volume fraction distributions in both laminar and turbulent non-premixed flames. From the acquired data, iso-concentration surfaces are visualised and concentration gradients calculated.

Two-dimensional imaging of soot volume fraction and OH in turbulent jet diffusion flames spanning low to high mixing rates
Simultaneous planar measurements of laser-induced incandescence (LII) and Laser-Induced Fluorescence of OH radical were carried out in turbulent jet flames from a simple jet, precessing jet and bluff body burner firing natural gas. These flames span a wide range of global mixing rates and sooting characteristics, and are selected because measurements of total NOx emissions, radiant fraction and...

Soot concentration distribution is investigated both numerically and experimentally in methane-air diffusion flame. The experimental work is conducted with a cylindrical swirl stabilized combustor. Filter paper technique is used to measure soot volume fraction inside the combustor. The numerical simulation is based on the solution of the fully-coupled conservation equations for swirling turbule...

The formation of soot particles in combustion depends on several factors that include: pressure, temperature, fuel chemical structure and extent of premixing. An improved version of the thermophoretic particle densitometry (TPD) method, has been used in this study for quantitative and qualitative characterization of soot particles generated in laminar partially-premixed co-flow flames having di...

Planar laser-induced incandescence (LII) imaging is reported at repetition rates up to 100 kHz using a burst-mode laser system to enable studies of soot formation dynamics in highly turbulent flames. To quantify the accuracy and uncertainty of relative soot volume fraction measurements, the temporal evolution of the LII field in laminar and turbulent flames is examined at various laser operatin...
متن کاملExperimental study of soot aerosol formation in swirl-stabilized flames of alternative aviation fuels on a path to sustainable aviation
Particulate matter (soot aerosol or carbon black) emissions from combustion systems have adverse effects on human health and the environment. Soot is a major contributor to the total radiation heat loss in propulsion systems. Soot aerosols in the atmosphere have significant positive radiative forcing that contributes to global warming because of strong absorption of sunlight by soot. As compare...
