可调空间分辨USEDCARS技术研究

相干反斯托克斯拉曼散射（CARS）技术是一种非常重要的燃烧诊断技术,该技术具有非常强的抗干扰能力和非常高的测量精度。但空间分辨力不足会使CARS技术产生很强的空间平均效应,引起成CARS光谱畸变,进而造成CARS光谱分析困难,无法通过CARS光谱反演燃烧场参数。针对非稳腔空间增强探测CARS（USEDCARS）技术存在的空间分辨不足以及空间分辨力不易改变的特点,分析了影响USEDCARS技术测量空间分辨力的各种因素,采用一组轴棱锥对USEDCARS系统中的泵浦激光进行环状光束整形,并通过调节轴棱锥之间的距离获得了不同直径的环状光束,在此基础上,建立了空间分辨可调USEDCARS诊断系统。开展了空间分辨力分析实验,获得了CARS信号强度随空间位置的分布数据,以CARS信号总强度95%包含的空间区域代表CARS的纵向空间分辨力,以此计算得到了CARS系统空间分辨力为1.7～6.5 mm连续可调。其中,高分辨力情况,达到了现有BOXCARS技术的空间分辨力。利用所建立的空间分辨可调USEDCARS诊断系统测量了酒精/空气预混火焰温度参数,获得了不同空间分辨条件下的CARS光谱。空间分辨力为1.7 mm时,获得了高质量CARS光谱,通过光谱拟合给出了所测火焰的温度信息。分辨力分别为4.9和6.5 mm时获得了较强的CARS信号,但存在光谱畸变。结果显示,空间分辨力对CARS信号的强度和空间平均效应有很大地影响,提高测量的空间分辨力可以有效消除空间平均效应,获得准确的CARS光谱,增强光谱拟合精度,同时空间分辨可调的特性使该系统能够更好地适应不同实验条件下的诊断工作。

燃烧流场线CARS测温技术研究

常规CARS采用凸透镜聚焦多束激光于空间一点,在满足相位匹配条件下产生携带该点温度信息的CARS信号。常规CARS一次只能测量一个空间点的温度,难以满足燃烧流场深入研究需要。为了提高CARS测量能力,使得CARS在一次测量中获得更多信息,提出了线CARS测量方法。线CARS测量方法在常规CARS基础上采用柱面凸透镜替换普通凸透镜,使得聚焦位置由焦点变为焦线。由于焦线上的点大部分满足相位匹配关系,因此可以同时获得多点CARS信号。后续光路同样采用柱面凸透镜替换普通凸透镜,通过光谱仪和ICCD相机将CARS信号传输至计算机,解析出聚焦线上CARS信号对应的温度信息,实现CARS测量能力由“点”到“线”的提升。基于平面火焰炉的燃烧实验结果表明：线CARS可以一次有效测量200个空间点的温度信息,空间测量长度约3.6 mm,空间分辨率约18 μm,测量结果相对不确定度优于7%,在保持测量精度的同时有效丰富了单次测量信息。

Theoretical modeling of single-laser-shot, chirped-probe-pulse femtosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering thermometry

Chirped-probe-pulse (CPP) femtosecond (fs) coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy for single-laser-shot temperature measurements in flames is discussed. In CPP fs CARS, a giant Raman coherence is created in the medium by impulsive pump-Stokes excitation, and the temperature-dependent temporal decay of this initial coherence is mapped into the frequency of the CARS signal using a CPP. The theory of the CPP fs CARS technique is presented. A computer code has been developed to calculate theoretical CPP fs CARS spectra. The input parameters for the calculation of the theoretical spectra include the temperature, probe time delay, ratio of the resonant and nonresonant susceptibilities, and parameters for characterizing the pump, Stokes and probe pulses. The parameters for characterizing the pump, Stokes and probe pulses are determined from the best fit of theoretical spectra to experimental spectra acquired from calibration flames at a known temperature. For spectra acquired in subsequent measurements, these laser parameters are fixed and temperature is determined as one of the fit parameters from the best fit of theoretical spectra to experimental spectra. For single-laser-shot CPP fs CARS temperature measurements performed in steady, near-adiabatic flames, the best-fit temperature distribution width is typically less than 1.5% of the mean temperature. The mean temperature is accurate to within approximately 3% with respect to the adiabatic flame temperature. The most significant limitation on temperature measurement accuracy is associated with the evaluation of the theoretical laser parameters. Significant improvements in the temperature measurement accuracy are expected once monitoring equipment capable of characterizing the spectrum and phase of each laser pulse is incorporated in the experiments.     

Effects of buoyancy on turbulent premixed V-flames by large-eddy simulation

Buoyancy effects on turbulent premixed V-flames are investigated under normal gravity (+g) and reversed gravity (–g). Numerical simulations employ large eddy simulation (LES) with a dynamic model for sub-grid scale stress. With the assumption of fast chemistry combustion, a progress variable c-equation is applied to describe the flame front propagation. The equations are solved using a projection-based fractional step method in two dimensions for low-Mach number flows. Computed LES results of buoyancy effects on flame angle and flame brush thickness are consistent with those obtained from experiments. In both +g and –g conditions, the effects of buoyancy become important with increase in Richardson number (Ri). Buoyancy force tends to close up the flame under +g, but has the opposite effect under –g. Buoyancy force also suppresses flame wrinkling in +g and enhances wrinkling in –g. While there is a lack of experimental data available, computed axial velocity is shown to be significantly affected by buoyancy downstream from the flame holder under moderate Reynolds number.

Detailed measurements of local scalar front structures in stagnation-type turbulent premixed flames

Local scalar front structures of OH mole fraction, reaction progress variable, and its three-dimensional gradient have been measured in stagnation-type turbulent premixed flames. The reaction progress variable front is observed to change with increasing turbulence from parallel iso-scalar contours but reduced progress variable gradients, called the lamella-like front, to disrupted non-parallel iso-contours that deviate substantially from those of wrinkled laminar flamelets, called the non-flamelet front. This transition is attributed to the different scales of interaction between the flame internal structure and a spectrum of turbulence extending from the integral scale to the Kolmogorov scale. The lamella-like front pattern occurs when the length scales of interaction are smaller than the laminar flame thickness but the time scales are greater than the flame residence time. The non-flamelet front pattern occurs when the length scales of interaction are greater than the laminar flame thickness but the time scales are smaller than the flame residence time. This difference corresponds to the change of combustion regime from complex-strain flame front to turbulent flame front on a revised regime diagram. A correlation is also proposed for the turbulent flame brush thickness as a function of turbulent Reynolds number and heat release parameter. The heat release parameter is considered to arise from the non-passive effects of flame-surface wrinkling.
