Combustion Diagnostics

Mass spectrometry

We developed and designed the time of flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) technology and made the photoionization TOF-MS.

Laser spectroscopy

Our particular interest are simultaneous measurements, in which two or more flow quantities are measured to provide joint statistics. The results from the experimental works present a new and comprehensive data set for the validation of numerical simulations.

To reveal the mechanism of dynamic atomization, evaporation and mixing of high speed swirling liquid fuel in aeroengine with the application of advanced optical testing technology in spray combustion based on 100kHz repetitive frequency burst-mode pulsed laser; 

To develop a high-speed, 2D imaging system utilizing the burst-mode pulsed laser of 100 kHz repetition rate to fully capture the dynamics of turbulent combustion;

To effectively describe multi-scale, multi-physics phenomenon in combustion systems with the help of ultra-short pulse laser technique, i.e. fs/ps-CARS;

To apply the techniques in harsh combustion environment, such as aeroengine or gas turbine to solve applied-engineering problems;  

To understand the complex physical and chemical processes in turbulent flows occur over a wide range of timescales and length scales based on the obtained high quality experimental results, serving for validation of numerical simulation;

Ultimately, the work is inherently collaborative, developing and sharing tools, data and models across the world. Researchers and companies are more than welcome to visit and cooperate with us.
