Velocity Imaging For The Liquid–Gas Interface In The Near Field Of An Atomizing Spray: Proof Of Concept, David L. Sedarsky, Megan E. Paciaroni, Mark A. Linne, James R. Gord, Terrence R. Meyer

We describe adaptation of ballistic imaging for the liquid core of an atomizing spray. To describe unambiguously the forces that act to break apart the liquid core in a spray, one must directly measure the force vectors themselves. It would be invaluable, therefore, to obtain velocity and acceleration data at the liquid-gas interface. We employ double-image ballistic imaging to extract velocity information through the application of image analysis algorithms. This method is shown to be effective for liquid phase droplet features within the resolution limit of the imaging system. In light of these results, it is clear that a three- …

Vortex-Induced Flame Extinction In Two-Phase Counterflow Diffusion Flames With Ch Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence And Particle-Image Velocimetry, Alix Lemaire, Terrence R. Meyer, Katharina Zahringer, Juan C. Rolon, James R. Gord

Here the interaction between a laminar two-phase, non-pre-mixed counterflow flame and a vortex is examined. Special emphasis is given to the influence of different flame and vortex parameters on the extinction behavior of the flame. Simultaneaous planar laser-induced fluorescence of the CH radical layer produced by the flame and particle-image velocimetry measurements of the flowfield are used to characterize the flame–vortex interaction. These simultaneous diagnostics are used for the first time in this configuration. The extinction processes occurring during the flame–vortex interaction can be analyzed by this method, especially the influence of strain at the flame surface. The influence of …
