The 35th International Combustion Symposium, the premier conference on combustion science and application held on August 3–8 in San Francisco, was a resounding success thanks to Sandia’s Combustion Research Facility (CRF). More than 1,500 researchers gathered from around the world to discuss the latest innovations in understanding and predicting combustion-related phenomena, approximately 250 more than…

New Diagnostic Capability Provides 3-D Measurements of Turbulent Flame Dynamics Using High-Repetition Rate Tomographic Particle Image Velocimetry

Blog, Combustion Chemistry, Diagnostics, Working with the CRF

Capturing turbulence–flame interaction structure and studying time–history effects requires high-speed volumetric measurements performed at repetition rates sufficiently fast to resolve the relevant flow time scales. Advances in the CRF’s imaging diagnostic capabilities are overcoming these challenges to provide a more complete picture of the structure and dynamics of turbulence–flame interactions. The Advanced Imaging Laboratory has…
