Metrology for Non-Contact Rainbow Thermometry

March 1, 2001
Author(s)
Cary Presser
NIST recently acquired a commercially available, state-of-the-art droplet diagnostic system that determines the size, velocity, and temperature of in-flight individual droplets. This non-contact diagnostic will be used to determine droplet characteristics

Issues Related to Spray Combustion Modeling Validation

January 1, 2001
Author(s)
J F. Widmann, Cary Presser
Validation of CFD predictions for spray combustion application has been a challenging task due to difficulties in both modeling and experimental measurements. However, validation is considered to be an essential exercise for the success of CFD tools in the

Aerodynamic Study of a Vane-Cascade Swirl Generator

November 1, 2000
Author(s)
J F. Widmann, S R. Charagundla, Cary Presser
The air flow through a vane-cascade swirl generator is examined both experimentally and numerically to characterize the inlet combustion air flow entering a reference spray combustion facility at NIST. A three-dimensional model is used to simulate the

Simulation of Methanol Combustion in the NIST Reference Spray Combustor

November 1, 2000

D S. Crocker, M G. Giridharan, J F. Widmann, Cary Presser
This paper describes the simulation of methanol spray flame in the NIST reference spray combustion facility, which was predicited using a state-of-the-art, unstructured-mesh CFD code. The code solves the gas-phase equations in an Eulerian frame using the

Combustion Research Studies at the National Institute of Standards and Technology
