    Notes: The existence of organized large-scale structure in jet flows has been studied using planar imaging of the CH4 concentration in a turbulent CH4 jet. The measurements show the development of large-scale vortical structures in the mixing region adjacent to the central jet. These structures result in instantaneous radial profiles that differ considerably from the classical time-averaged Gaussian profiles measured previously using single-point measurements. The profiles typically consist of one or two plateau regions of relatively uniform concentration and are consistent with planar measurements obtained by other investigators in constant density and reacting flows. The results suggest a mixing model in which the dominant mechanism for entrainment is large-scale engulfment of surrounding air by the vortical structures, followed by rapid mixing with jet fluid. Conventional time-averaged statistics (mean, RMS fluctuations, and probability distributions) can be interpreted in terms of this large-scale structure.

    Notes: Abstract The laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) measures the velocity distribution of particles which is often an acceptable representation of the distribution of gas velocities. However, in turbulent two stream mixing flows, the particle velocity distribution will differ from the gas velocity distribution when the particle densities in the two streams are unequal. This bias is explored in a reacting and nonreacting turbulent jet which is surrounded by coflowing air. By adding seed particles to only the coflow air and then to only the jet fluid, the limits of this bias are established. Additional measurements with an LDV triggered laser Raman scattering system demonstrate that the bias in the LDV sampling is propagated to the Raman measurements. An analytical equation is presented which will generate unbiased velocity and scalar distributions from measurements obtained from seeding only one stream at a time.

    Notes: Abstract A nonpremixed bluff-body burner flow and flame have been studied using planar flow visualization and species concentration imaging techniques. The burner consists of a central jet of CH 4 in a cylindrical bluff-body and an outer coflowing-air stream. Planar flow visualization, using Mie scattering from seed particles added to the fuel jet, Raman scattering from CH 4 and laser-induced fluorescence of CH combined with Raman scattering of CH 4 provided information on turbulent flow, mixing and combustion. The CH 4 imaging system utilized two cameras, which enhanced the dynamic range of the diagnostic system by a factor of 10 over a single-camera system. It was observed that the fuel jet stagnated on the axis due to interaction with the high velocity air flow. The flow and mixing were found to have significant coherent and noncoherent, large-scale, time-varying structures. The detailed CH 4 Raman and CH fluorescence measurements of an air-dominated bluff-body flame revealed that the stagnation zone governs mixing and flame stability. Through large-scale mixing, the stagnated jet feeds the recirculation zone and also creates a favorable condition to stabilize the flame detached from the bluff-body. The instantaneous flame zone, as defined by CH, was found to be narrow and concentrated in an envelope around the stagnation zone. This narrow flame characteristic is consistent with that observed for jet flames. Although the internal structure of the flame envelops have not yet been defined, these results suggest that this bluff-body flame can be modeled by a “flame sheet” type approach, where the reaction front is captured by the large-scale structures. This should simplify the development of modeling approaches for these flows since molecular mixing and chemical reaction, which occur within the “flame sheet”, can be separated from the large-scale mixing process.

    Notes: Abstract Rayleigh scattering has become an accepted technique for the determination of total number density during the combustion process. The interpretation of the ratio of total Rayleigh scattering signal as a ratio of densities or temperatures is hampered by the changing composition through a flame, since the average Rayleigh scattering cross-section depends on the gas composition. Typical correction factors as a function of degree of reaction, fuel and equivalence ratio were calculated. The fuels considered were H2, CH4, C2H4, C2H6 and C3H8. Factors as low as 0.7 and 0.56 were found for the heaviest hydrocarbon fuel at large equivalence ratio for interpreting the Rayleigh scattering intensity as gas density and inverse temperature, respectively. This is primarily due to the presence of CO and H2 as intermediates. As CO and H2 are subsequently oxidized to CO2 and H2O, these factors approach 1.0. Conversely, the worst case, when using H2 as a fuel, occurs in the post flame zone. However, the correction factors for H2 are near 1.0 and the errors involved will, in general, remain within the expected experimental accuracy of a typical Rayleigh scattering system. Linear correlations of correction factors with equivalene ratio and with the product of equivalence ratio and fuel molecular weight were found and presented. The interpretation of Rayleigh scattering as temperature was found to have larger errors than the interpretation as density. Corrections for changes in gas composition were applied to Rayleigh scattering temperature measurements in the post flame region of CH4 and C3H8 flames with equivalence ratios of 0.75 and 1.0. The corrected temperatures were in excellent agreement with thermocouple measurements.

    Description: An experimental study has been performed on the dynamics of a large turbulent buoyanthelium plume. Two-dimensional velocity fields were measured using particle image velocimetry (PIV) while helium mass fraction was determined by planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF). PIV and PLIF were performed simultaneously in order to obtain velocity and mass fraction data over a plane that encompassed the plume core, the near-field mixing zones and the surrounding air. The Rayleigh-Taylor instability at the base of the plume leads to the vortex that grows to dominate the flow. This process repeats in a cyclical manner. The temporally and spatially resolved data show a strong negative correlation between density and vertical velocity, as well as a strong 90° phase lag between peaks in the vertical and horizontal velocities throughout the flow field owing to large coherent structures associated with puffing of the turbulent plume. The joint velocity an mass fraction data are used to calculate Favre-averaged statistics in addition to Reynolds-(time) averaged statistics. Unexpectedly, the difference between both the Favre-averaged and Reynolds-averaged velocities and second-order turbulent statistics is less than the uncertainty in the data throughout the flow field. A simple analysis was performed to determine the expected differences between Favre and Reynolds statistics for flows with periodic fluctuations in which the density and velocity fields are perfectly correlated, but have the phase relations as suggested by the data. The analytical results agreewith the data, showing that the Favre and Reynolds statistics will be the same to lead order. The combination of observation and simple analysis suggests that for buoyancy-dominated flows in which it can be expected that density and velocity are strongly correlated,phase relations will result in only second-order differences between Favre- and Reynolds-averaged data in spite of strong fluctuations in both density and velocity. © 2005 Cambridge University Press.

    Description: A laser-Doppler velocimeter (LDV) study of velocity profiles in the laminar boundary layer adjacent to a heated flat plate revealed that the seed particles used for the LDV measurements were driven away from the plate surface by thermophoretic forces, causing a particle-free region within the boundary layer of approximately one half the boundary-layer thickness. Measurements of the thickness of this region were compared with particle trajectories calculated according to several theories for the thermophoretic force. It was found that the theory of Brock, with an improved value for the thermal slip coefficient, gave the best agreement with experiment for low Knudsen numbers, λ/R = O(10−1), where λ is the mean free path and R the particle radius. Data obtained by other experimenters over a wider range of Knudsen numbers are compared, and a fitting formula for the thermophoretic force useful over the entire range 0 ≤ λ/R ≤ ∞ is proposed which agrees within 20% or less with the majority of the available data. © 1980, Cambridge University Press.
