Abstract
This article presents the results of approbation of the method for registering temperature distributions based on the planar laser-induced fluorescence of a hydroxyl radical (OH) when the band (1-0) of the A2Σ+–X2Π system is excited. The thermometry is based on the recording the ratio of the radiation intensity of the band (2-0) and the bands (0-0), (1-1). Numerical modelling of fluorescence spectra is performed using the LASKIN program for the most frequent excitation lines Q2(7), Q1(8), R1(14), P1(2). The temperature field of a swirling flame, impinging on a flat cold surface, for H/d = 1, 2 and 3 calibres (where H is the distance between the jet nozzle and the surface, d is the outlet diameter of the nozzle) is obtained. The results of the work demonstrate that when the transition Q1(8) is excited, the ratio of the intensity of fluorescence signals for the band (2-0) and the bands (0-0), (1-1) provides a high sensitivity to temperature and is not significantly affected by fluorescence quenching. The report also concludes that this method can be implemented using single pulsed laser illumination and is effective for the detecting the position of flow recirculation zones and registering hot heat release zones with the combustion products.
