• Abstract:
  The goal of this study is to develop, conduct, and analyze advanced laser and optical measurements in the experimental combustors developed under ASCENT National Fuel Combustion Program to measure sensitivity to fuel properties. We conducted advanced spatially resolved high-speed planar imaging, high-speed Schlieren imaging, high-speed OH* chemiluminescence imaging, 2D phase Doppler anemometry, as well as other advanced diagnostics to provide insight into the physicochemical response of the combustion process for various alternative fuels. Moreover, the results provided data for development of new predictive combustion models in ASCENT. Once fully characterized, the standard referee combustor rig can streamline and simplify fuel certification procedures outlined in the ASTM D4054 (Standard Practice for Qualification and Approval of New Aviation Turbine Fuels and Fuel Additives) through minimization of full-scale engine testing.
