Abstract
The principle of Doppler global velocimetry (DGV) and a DGV system optimized for time averaged three-component velocity measurements is described in this paper. Furthermore, the design of the different components of the DGV-system as well as the manner of its operation is presented. The volumetric, time averaged, three-component velocity distribution was acquired in the isothermal flow of a low NOx, staged combustion chamber sector from Rolls-Royce Deutschland. The combustor was developed within the German public-funded Engine 3E program. On the basis of the collected data, the complex flow phenomena in the combustor could be analyzed in detail and supported by CFD calculations. A recently developed, pulsed Nd:YAG laser now enables planar, time-averaged, three-component DGV application in combusting flow fields. Measurements were carried out in a single-nozzle, kerosene combustion chamber model, operated under atmospheric pressure. The successful measurements demonstrated the capability of DGV as a new tool for combustion research. It was possible to separately measure the gas velocity and the velocity of the fuel droplets, a promising capability of DGV for two phase flow analysis.
