3D Flame Imaging

Volumetric flame imaging based on tomographic reconstruction gives insights into the complex 3D-distribution of flame species. The chemiluminescence of the flame radical OH* visualizes the flame front and is related to the heat release rate, which determines the stability of the combustion process. 2D-camera images of the OH* emission from a number of viewing angles are used to reconstruct the time-averaged mean volumetric OH* distribution of the flame.
