Turbulent combustion will remain central to the next generation of combustion devices that
are likely to employ blends of renewable and fossil fuels, transitioning eventually to …

Ultra-compact combustors have received much attention in the development of gas turbines
for transportation because of their advantages of compactness, low emissions, and cost …

A high-speed chemiluminescence imaging diagnostic system has been developed and
characterized for measuring species-specific properties of spherically expanding flames …

An ultralow emission combustor concept based on “flameless oxidation” is demonstrated in
this paper for aviation kerosene. Measurements of gas emissions, as well as of the size and …

OH∗ chemiluminescence is a reliable indication of the combustion state and can express
characteristic parameters of flame. In this work, OH∗ chemiluminescence in the lift-off …

The fuel atomization and ignition characteristics of an afterburner under subatmospheric
pressure are important foundations for expanding the operating range of the afterburner at …

We investigate the sooting propensity of an Alcohol-to-Jet-Synthetic Kerosene with
Aromatics (ATJ-SKA) biojet fuel. The soot volume fraction and primary particle size in the pre …

Droplet dynamics in a self-excited thermoacoustic instability are not well understood due to
the tight coupling of competing effects and difficulty in taking high-quality data. In this …

Achieving full premixing and complete evaporation in lean prevaporized premixed
combustors is challenging as it depends on the spray injector characteristics …

This paper extends the application of laser-induced fluorescence imaging of OH & CH 2 O
(LIF-OH-CH 2 O) to provide a measure of heat release zones in turbulent, moderately dense …
