Temperature and velocity measurements in premixed turbulent flames

The application of laser-induced Rayleigh light scattering to the study of turbulent mixing

“…If the total number of molecules in the flow does not change significantly as a function of the degree of reaction, the mass density will be proportional to the number density of the gas. This criterion is found to be nearly true for many combustion systems and Rayleigh scattering has been used to measure number density for a variety of turbulent combustion configurations [27][28][29][30][31][32] .…”
