Experimental n-Hexane-Air Expanding Spherical Flames
Stephanie A. Coronel, Simon Lapointe, Remy Mevel +3
The effects of initial pressure and temperature on the laminar burning speed of n-hexane-air mixtures were investigated experimentally and numerically. The spherically expanding fl…
Experimental Investigation of Shock Wave Surfing
N. J. Parziale, S. J. Laurence, R Deiterding +2
Shock wave surfing is investigated experimentally in GALCIT's Mach 4.0 Ludwieg Tube. Shock wave surfing occurs when a secondary free-body follows the bow shock formed by a primary…
Instability of a Flame Front in a Lean H2-N2O Mixture
Sally P. M. Bane, Rémy Mével, Joseph E. Shepherd
Spark ignition and subsequent flame propagation in a premixed, fuel-lean (equivalence ratio of 0.4) H2-N2O mixture are shown in this fluid dynamics video. High-speed schlieren phot…
Hexane Air Combustion
Philipp A. Boettcher, Brian Ventura, Joseph E. Shepherd
Hot surface ignition and subsequent flame propagation of premixed n-hexane air mixtures are shown in this fluid dynamics video. High speed schlieren photography revealed 3 distinct…
