Due to the recent progresses in sensor and laser technologies, volumetric tomography has
become a popular diagnostic for combustion studies. Background-oriented Schlieren …

The unsteady, visible, chemiluminescence fields of two non-axisymmetric, forced, laminar,
premixed, propane–air flames are tomographically reconstructed using between 3 and 36 …

This paper addresses the mechanisms through which transverse acoustic oscillations excite
unsteady heat release. Forced and self-excited transverse acoustic instability studies to date …

This paper compares flow structures in a single-and triple-nozzle swirl combustor. Realistic
combustor hardware usually contains several nozzles; however, test facilities for studying …

This paper presents 5 kHz stereo particle image velocimetry and OH planar laser induced
fluorescence measurements of transversely forced swirl flames. The presence of transverse …

Performance of gas burners can be optimized by improvements in their design and proper
selection of operating parameters associated with combustion and heat transfer …

This paper describes an analysis of the unsteady flow structures in a single nozzle and triple
nozzle swirl combustor (with nozzle spacing of s/D= 2.9). It was motivated by a prior study by …

We study the dependence of the flame sheet response of an open V-flame when subjected
to simultaneous but independently controlled–(1) narrowband, coherent disturbances,(2) …

The effect of confinement (flame–wall interactions) on the response of a turbulent, swirl-
stabilized flame is experimentally examined, with a focus on the shape and structure of …

Radiative furnaces pose significant thermal inertia and single impinging flames have been
observed to cause occurrence of hotspots on the target surface. Multiple burners arranged in …
