Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) Rayleigh scattering (RS) imaging at an ultrahigh repetition rate of 100 kHz is demonstrated in non-reacting flows employing a high-energy burst-mode laser system. Image sequences of flow mixture fraction were directly derived from high-speed RS images. Additionally, a 2D instantaneous flow velocity field at 100 kHz was obtained through optical-flow-based analysis of the RS images. In further analysis of both the mixture fraction and flow velocity field, the result for the centerline mixture fraction agreed well with the scaling law. The demonstrated high-speed RS technique in conjunction with optical-flow-based analysis provides non-intrusive, simultaneous measurements of the flow mixing and velocity field, extending the measurement capability of the RS technique to high-speed non-reacting and reacting flows.
