Research Overview:
Schlieren
Optics for Mini Chamber: To visualize the flow field within the combustion chamber, schlieren
systems are set up on a movable optical table as shown in the lefts hand side
figure. The system
consists of Xenon light source, collimating mirror, flat mirror, beam splitter,
slide for colorization and high-speed camera. Using
the high-speed
camera, pictures can be taken at up to 2,000 frames per second with exposure
time of 23 microseconds. Pictures
are stored in TIFF format and downloaded to the local hard drive.
One of the preliminary test results is shown in the right hand side of
the Figure. |
