The statistics of droplets formed by the primary jet breakup of a liquid atomization system are
critical since it determines the atomization quality and resultant spray characteristics …

As interest in low-cost reusable launch vehicles and extraterrestrial exploration has
increased in recent years, soft-landing techniques have become important. A pintle injector …

Imaging through optically dense sprays is challenging due to the detection of multiple light
scattering, which blurs the recorded images and limits visibility. Structured laser illumination …

In an era of increasingly stringent emissions regulations, environmental standards are
driving gasoline engine research and development toward more widespread use of direct …

Abstract The Structured Laser Illumination Planar Imaging (SLIPI) technique received
significant attention in recent years due to notable improvements in the measurement of …

In this study, we report on the three-dimensional (3D) characterization of a spray in terms of
its droplet Sauter mean diameter (SMD) using the laser-induced fluorescence (LIF)/Mie ratio …

The method for direct injection of fuel in the cylinder of an IC engines is important to high-
efficiency and low-emission performance. Optical spray diagnostics plays an important role …

This work shows new insights on the application of two-color laser-induced-fluorescence (2c-
LIF) thermometry in a droplet chain. A two-dye mixture is used in ethanol, water and …

The present study deals with droplet sizing based on laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and
Mie scattering for varied polarization of the utilized laser (parallel or perpendicular). The …

The fluorescence spectra of dye solutions change their spectral signature with temperature.
This effect is frequently used for temperature imaging in liquids and sprays based on two …
