Non-invasive seedingless measurements of the flame transfer function using high-speed camerabased laser vibrometry

The characterization of modern jet engines or stationary gas turbines running with lean combustion by means of swirl-stabilized ames necessitates seedingless optical field measurements of the ame transfer function, i.e. the ratio of the uctuating heat release rate inside the ame volume, the instationary ow velocity at the combustor outlet and the time average of both quantities. For this reason, a high-speed camera-based laser interferometric vibrometer is proposed for spatio-temporally resolved measurements of the ame transfer function inside a swirl-stabilized technically premixed ame. Each pixel provides line-of-sight measurements of the heat release rate due to the linear coupling to uctuations of the refractive index along the laser beam, which are based on density uctuations inside the ame volume. Additionally, field measurements of the instationary ow velocity are possible due to correlation of simultaneously measured pixel signals and the known distance between the measurement positions. Thus, the new system enables the spatially resolved detection of the ame transfer function and instationary ow behavior with a single measurement for the first time. The presented setup offers single pixel resolution with measurement rates up to 40 kHz at an maximum image resolution of 256 px x 128 px. Based on a comparison with reference measurements using a standard pointwise laser interferometric vibrometer, the new system is validated and a discussion of the measurement uncertainty is presented. Finally, the measurement of refractive index uctuations inside a ame volume is demonstrated.
