Temperature measurement based on fluorescence intensity in hydroxyl tagging velocimetry (HTV)

Abstract

Hydroxyl tagging velocimetry (HTV) is generally used for velocity measurement especially in the high-temperature and high-velocity flow field. In this work, according to the monotonous change of OH fluorescence intensity with temperature, the relative temperature distribution could be observed from the intensity distribution along the hydroxyl fluorescence line. We could obtain the temperature along the photodissociation line by calibrating at two positions. In this way, HTV has the potential for simultaneously achieving velocity and temperature without adding extra diagnostic systems.
