MULTISCALAR ANALYSES OF HIGH-PRESSURE SWIRL-STABILIZED COMBUSTION VIA SINGLE-SHOT DUAL-SBG RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY
We report an experimental study and thermochemical analysis of high-pressure swirl-stabilized combustion utilizing subframe burst gating (SBG) Raman spectroscopy. SBG Raman spectroscopy is a novel diagnostic technique that provides increased accuracy of quantitative scalar measurements in a single-shot pointwise manner. A recent modification of our original system allows parallel detection of both Stokes and anti-Stokes spectral components (hence the term dual SBG). We begin by briefly describing the experimental construction of a Raman calibration matrix, which allows us to reduce spectral cross-talk in the measurements. Next we describe the application of dual-SBG Raman spectroscopy to simultaneous single-shot measurement of temperature and species mass fractions in a turbulent flame stabilized over a lean-direct-injection (LDI) burner using gaseous methane fuel at elevated pressure of 17atm. Our discussion includes the practical challenges of Raman spectroscopy in a pressurized combustion rig. Statistical analyses of the single-shot thermochemical data provide insights into the nature of the partial-premixing process and its impact on the subsequent combustion process.
