Many practical soot-emitting combustion systems such as diesel and jet engines rely on
diffusion flames for efficient and reliable operation. Efforts to mitigate soot emissions from …

This is a comprehensive, critical, and pedagogical review of volumetric emission
tomography for combustion processes. Many flames that are of interest to scientists and …

The understanding of soot formation in combustion processes and the optimization of
practical combustion systems require in situ measurement techniques that can provide …

The seventh edition of this classic text outlines the fundamental physical principles of
thermal radiation, as well as analytical and numerical techniques for quantifying radiative …

Laser absorption spectroscopy (LAS) has been rapidly developed and widely applied to
combustion diagnosis in recent decades. As a cost-effective tool for measuring multiple …

We report a new workflow for background-oriented schlieren (BOS), termed “physics-
informed BOS,” to extract density, velocity, and pressure fields from a pair of reference and …

The Abel transform is a mathematical operation that transforms a cylindrically symmetric
three-dimensional (3D) object into its two-dimensional (2D) projection. The inverse Abel …

Soot particle emission from combustion processes is a significant environmental and health
problem. Optical detection is clearly the only viable choice for in situ PAH and soot …

Gas-phase synthesis of nanoparticles enables production of high-purity materials with well-
controlled properties in continuous flow processes. It is an established technology for a …

A novel diagnostic is proposed to characterize the maturity of soot particles in a laminar
axisymmetric coflow ethylene diffusion flame in terms of the spectral dependence of soot …
