Quantitative 2D thermometry in turbulent sooting non-premixed flames using filtered Rayleigh scattering
This paper demonstrates the application of a thermometry method in turbulent sooting non-premixed flames using filtered Rayleigh scattering (FRS). Fuel tailoring is used to establish a specific C 2 H 2 -based fuel mixture such that temperature can be determined accurately by a single FRS measurement over the entirety of mixture fraction space, or equivalently, for all relevant thermo-chemical states. Evaluation is performed in a hierarchy of flows to establish measurement precision and accuracy. Initial assessments in a series of heated fuel mixtures; non-sooting, near-adiabatic flat flames; and laminar non-premixed sooting flames show accuracy of the approach over a full range of expected temperatures and high single-shot measurement precision (e.g., 65 < <#comment/> S N R < <#comment/> 80 ) for temperatures between 1900 and 2200 K. Subsequently, 2D temperature measurements are evaluated in a turbulent non-premixed sooting flame. For the current fuel mixture, the local mixture-averaged Rayleigh scattering cross section is nearly constant over all composition space, and thus traditional laser Rayleigh scattering (LRS) is used as a measurement standard in the absence of soot. The results show excellent agreement between the proposed FRS thermometry approach and LRS in non-sooting regions. In the presence of soot, the proposed FRS-based approach shows no signs of interference. In addition, 2D temperature imaging shows high SNR (60–74) over all temperature conditions. Thus, we believe the proposed methodology successfully provides a high-resolution 2D temperature method under turbulent sooting flame conditions.

Evaluation of the Tenti S6 model for hydrocarbon fuels at elevated temperatures using filtered Rayleigh scattering measurements
This Letter targets the assessment of the well-known Tenti S6 model for predicting the Rayleigh–Brillouin scattering (RBS) spectra of select gas–phase hydrocarbon fuels (CH 4 , C 2 H 2 , C 2 H 4 , C 3 H 8 , and C 4 H 10 ) over a temperature range of 300 to 700 K. The Tenti S6 model is evaluated by comparing filtered Rayleigh scattering (FRS) measurements to synthetic FRS signals generated from the combination of the Tenti S6 output and an accurate iodine absorption filter model. Here, the experimental and synthetic FRS results agree very well (<3% difference) over the full temperature range for CH 4 , C 2 H 2 , and C 2 H 4 , indicating accurate calculation of the RBS spectra. For C 3 H 8 and C 4 H 10 , there are some large differences between the experimental and synthetic FRS results which cannot be resolved through tuning of bulk viscosity, internal heat capacity, or inclusion of vibrational degrees of freedom, suggesting the need for detailed measurements of the Rayleigh–Brillouin spectra.
