Simultaneous two-plane flame front detection using PIV based on defocusing

This Letter presents a simultaneous two-plane flame front detection method. It is based on a standard single-camera single-plane particle image velocimetry (PIV) system in combination with an inexpensive and compact image splitting device. The image splitting optics places images from two depth-offs...

description This Letter presents a simultaneous two-plane flame front detection method. It is based on a standard single-camera single-plane particle image velocimetry (PIV) system in combination with an inexpensive and compact image splitting device. The image splitting optics places images from two depth-offset planes onto the two halves of a camera sensor. A shallow depth of field ensures only one plane is in focus on each half of the sensor. By using a high-pass filter and a novel two-step filter we have devised, the out-of-focus particle images are effectively removed, while the in-focus particle images remain, allowing the turbulent flame fronts on two planes to be detected simultaneously. Our approach could be combined with conventional polarization/wavelength discrimination methods to achieve simultaneous multi-plane flame front reconstruction with similarly high in-plane spatial resolution to single-plane measurement and is suitable for practical combustion devices with limited optical access.
