The Flame Diagnostics Lab set up in the Aerospace Department is an experimental test facility for combustion diagnostics in subscale and standard burner flames. In addition to the implementation of the conventional measurement techniques, the lab also facilitates employment of state of the art optical and laser diagnostic measurement techniques to combustion studies. The highly resolved experimental data base from this lab will be extremely valuable for the development of the CFD based reliable and predictive design tools in the future. The lab can be used for development of advanced combustion and propulsion systems as well as for fundamental R&D in gaseous and liquid fuel systems. Some of the measurement techniques that can be realized in this lab are Schlieren/shadowgraph – density gradient visualization, atomization pattern between isothermal and reactive flow conditions, high speed flame luminosity – dynamic event capture, optical spray diagnostics – drop size and velocity, planar velocity field measurements (both isothermal and reactive flow fields) – characterizing the velocity field, flame chemiluminescence – size and shape of the heat release zone, laser induced fluorescence (LIF) measurements of flame radicals – reactive species imaging and mixing studies, pollutant emission measurements and simultaneous diagnostic measurements.
