Measurement of turbulent burning velocities in implosions at high pressures

Awarded the Gaydon Prize for “most significant UK contribution to the 33rd International Symposium on Combustion”, Beijing, China, 2010. Presented at the premier event in combustion which has high IP. For the first time, a highly original twin kernel technique allowed detailed optical combustion studies at high pressures relevant to engines. Detailed measurements, including observations of turbulent flame structure, have previously been unavailable at such conditions due to the associated technical challenges, which were resolved herein. The work contributed to the PhD of Mansour, (Markous.Abdo@kaust.edu.sa). Subsequent research contracts of about £60000 have resulted from Shell Global Solutions (roger.cracknell@shell.com).
