Abstract
The flow characteristics of internal-combustion and gas-turbine engines can be determined in terms of local velocities, temperatures and concentrations and these measurements can be greatly facilitated by visualisation so that the general features of the flow are known prior to more detailed examination. This lecture considers some small flames, aspects of impinging flows of relevance to fuel sprays striking a surface, the nature of vortices within the cylinders of internal combustion engines and their consequences and the distribution of heat release within the annular combustion chamber of a small gas turbine engine. The relationship between photographic visualisation and detailed measurements is highlighted.
