- Abstract
- This paper documents and codifies a data base that consists of extensive laser-based measurements of velocity and density in a turbulent nonpremixed flame of hydrogen in air. These data were obtained in the Turbulent Combustion Tunnel Facility that is located at the Combustion Research Facility of Sandia National Laboratories. In these flames, the chemical reaction rates for the major species are greater than the mixing rates and, therefore, the data reported here can be used for improvement of models of turbulent mixing with large heat release without the additional complication of finite rate chemical kinetics. As an example of model improvement, comparisons of the data base with predictions of a numerical model of turbulent reacting flow are made.
