Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of energy and power and planar laser-induced fluorescence imaging measurement technology, and relates to a high spatiotemporal dynamic range measurement system for a scalar mixing process in turbulence, and specifically to a laser-induced fluorescence imaging measurement system that uses a polarization-modulated crystal to achieve image gating with a high spatiotemporal dynamic range. Background Art

[0002] As society places increasingly higher demands on the combustion efficiency and pollutant emissions of combustion devices, including boilers, internal combustion engines, gas turbines, and rocket engines, the study of the mixing mechanism of fuel-oxidant in turbulent flow has become an important direction of energy and power research; at the same time, in the chemical industry, the mixing process and mixing efficiency between different reactants in turbulent flow are also core issues in chemical process and reactor design. Research in the above fields requires simultaneous understanding of the mixing process of scalar fields at large and small turbulent scales. In the existing technology, in order to simultaneously understand the influence of large-scale and small-scale turbulence on the scalar mixing process, the commonly used methods include numerical simulation, experimental measurement, scale analysis, multi-physical process coupling simulation, etc. These methods each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Among them, Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence Imaging (PLIF) is a key method for the mixing of scalar fields. Laser-Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) is an experimental measurement method commonly used to measure scalar mixing processes in turbulent flows. Its advantages mainly lie in its high spatial resolution (PLIF technology can provide a spatial resolution of up to 10 μm, so it can capture smaller-scale vortex structures and mixing processes), high temporal resolution (PLIF technology can achieve a temporal resolution of microseconds, so it can be used to measure rapidly changing turbulent fields), non-invasiveness (PLIF technology is a non-invasive technology, so it can be measured without affecting the turbulent field), and the ability to measure multiple species (PLIF technology can measure the mixing process of multiple species, so it can be used to study the mixing process of multi-component fluids). However, PLIF technology also has its own shortcomings in actual use, mainly in the detection of fluorescent substances. The requirements for quality are high (PLIF technology requires adding fluorescent substances to the fluid, requiring that the fluorescent substances have no effect on the physical properties of the fluid, and the concentration of the fluorescent substances cannot be too high, otherwise it will affect the properties of the fluid), high requirements for lighting conditions (PLIF technology needs to provide a stable light source and optical system, requiring uniform and stable lighting conditions to avoid light source drift and noise interference), and difficult signal processing (PLIF technology's signal processing is relatively difficult, requiring complex image processing and data analysis, and therefore requires high-level technical support), etc. Especially for lighting conditions, if there is a large amount of background noise interference in the measurement environment, it will greatly affect the measurement accuracy of the PLIF measurement technology, resulting in the existing turbulent scalar field mixing process measurement system being unable to achieve high temporal and spatial dynamic range measurement, and therefore unable to simultaneously understand the impact of large-scale and small-scale turbulence on the scalar mixing process. Summary of the Invention

[0003] (1) Purpose of the invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing turbulent scalar field mixing process measurement systems, such as their susceptibility to background noise interference from the measurement environment and their inability to achieve high temporal and spatial dynamic range measurements, resulting in an inability to simultaneously understand the effects of large-scale and small-scale turbulence on the scalar mixing process, the present invention proposes a high temporal and spatial dynamic range measurement system for scalar mixing processes in turbulent flows. The system is a planar laser-induced fluorescence imaging measurement system that uses polarization modulation to achieve gating. A gating unit is provided in front of the incident light path of the imaging unit. The gating unit uses a nonlinear optical crystal in conjunction with a polarizer and an analyzer to achieve a precise short-gate, wide-width, and high-spatial-resolution gating effect. The gating unit is used to gate the fluorescence directed to the imaging unit. The gated fluorescence is imaged by the imaging unit to obtain a tracer molecule fluorescence image. After image processing, high temporal and spatial resolution results of the scalar field mixing process in the flow are obtained. The system can be widely used to measure fuel mixing, cold gas mixing, and temperature distribution in combustion processes; monitor reactant mixing in chemical reactions; and provide basic data for research in combustion, fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, combustion technology, and chemical technology.

[0013] The image processing unit has an input end that is communicatively connected to at least the output end of the imaging unit. The imaging unit transmits the received fluorescence image to the image processing unit. After processing the image, the image processing unit obtains at least the volume fraction parameter and the scalar dissipation rate parameter in the turbulent mixing process.

[0014] Preferably, the laser emitting unit is a Nd:YAG laser, and the laser of the desired wavelength is obtained by inserting an etalon into the resonant cavity of the Nd:YAG laser, or by injecting wavelength-tunable seed light into an Nd:YAG crystal for amplification.

Alternatively, the laser sheet shaping component includes one or more microlens arrays for homogenizing the laser spot. When using the high-temporal-spatial-resolution measurement system for scalar mixing in turbulent flow, the laser sheet thickness and height should be carefully adjusted using the laser sheet shaping component 2 to avoid excessive local laser power density, which can lead to photodissociation in the target turbulent mixing field.

The other components and connection methods are the same as those of the first embodiment. Specific implementation method five:

[0052] If the Rayleigh scattering cross-sectional areas of the two mixed media in the target mixed field differ greatly, then there is no need to add fluorescent tracer molecules to the mixed medium.
