- Abstract
- Recently, there has been intense interest in the development of optical imaging techniques as diagnostics for nonreacting and reacting turbulent flow fields. Both line and two-dimensional measurements have been utilized. In many cases, the light intensity which is detected in these experiments is too low to be accurately measured with commercially available detectors. In these cases, the detectors have been coupled to image intensifiers which provide sufficient amplification of the light generated by the experiment to allow the image to be recorded. In this talk the development of an intensified digital line camera capable of making real-time measurements in turbulent flow fields will be described. Note that, in a sense, this is a two-dimensional camera where one dimension is a line in space and the second is time.
