  • A sensor for combustion thermometry based on blue diode lasers. 

    Burns, Iain Stewart (University of CambridgeMagdalene College, 2006-05-23)
    Spatially-resolved measurements of flame temperature have been demonstrated with diode lasers for the first time. The technique is based on the use of blue diode lasers to perform laser-induced fluorescence on indium atoms ...

  • Forcing of globally unstable jets and flames 

    Li, Larry (University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringEmmanuel CollegeGates Scholar, 2012-04-10)
    In the analysis of thermoacoustic systems, a flame is usually characterised by the way its heat release responds to acoustic forcing. This response depends on the hydrodynamic stability of the flame. Some flames, such ...

  • Measurements of the structure of turbulent premixed and stratified methane/air flames 

    Sweeney, Mark (University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2011-11-08)
    The influence of stratification on the structure of turbulent methane/air combustion is investigated using experimental data from laboratory scale burners: a weakly turbulent slot burner, and a higher turbulence co-annular ...

  • Simulations of turbulent swirl combustors 

    Ayache, Simon Victor (University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringSelwyn College, 2012-07-03)
    This thesis aims at improving our knowledge on swirl combustors. The work presented here is based on Large Eddy Simulations (LES) coupled to an advanced combustion model: the Conditional Moment Closure (CMC). Numerical ...
