FlameMaster

3D LIF Imaging

Turbulent combustion processes are three-dimensional (3D) in nature and, therefore, only instantaneous 3D flame imaging techniques can reveal the complex 3D distribution of flame species.

LaVision’s FlameMaster 3D-LIF laser imaging systems support single shot tomographic Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) imaging of combustion species such as OH and unburnt fuel. While standard
(2D) LIF imaging applies laser sheet illumination, 3D tomographic LIF imaging uses volume illumination and multiple views for the simultaneous detection of the LIF signal. The short laser pulse freezes the turbulent flame motion in time. High-speed cameras and lasers enable time-resolved 3D-LIF imaging.
