Abstract: This study investigates the role of hydrodynamic instabilities on near-lean blowout (LBO) flame shapes in a swirl-stabilized spray combustor. Hydrodynamic instabilities often manifest themselves in swirling flows as a ...

Abstract: Abstract. Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) is an established technique for acquiring highly accurate, nonintrusive gas temperature measurements. CARS was selected for this study because other temperature ...

Abstract: This paper describes results from an experimental study on influences of liquid fuel properties on lean blowout (LBO) limits in an aero-type combustor. In particular, this work aimed to elucidate the roles of fuel chemical ...
