This book consists of papers prepared for and presented at a NATO
sponsored Advanced Study Institute which was held in Montechoro,
Portugal during the period 16-27 April, 1990. This Institute was
attended by approximately ninety delegates from fifteen countries
and followed from a related Institute held in Vimeiro, Portugal in
1987 (see the book entitled "Instrumentation for Combustion and
Flow in Engines", edited by D. F. G. Dur~o, J. H. Whitelaw and P.
O. Witzel. The purposes of the first Institute related closely to
instrumentation for use in gas-turbine combustors and the cylinders
of internal-combustion engines. These topics were also addressed in
the second Institute, though in a manner which was wider ranging
and chosen to demonstrate and explain the development and
application of measurement methods to combusting flows in general.
The papers contained in this boo~ were selected to provide the
reader with a comprehensive and up-to-date view of the variety of
experimental techniques available to measure in combusting flows.
Included are discussions of their range and applicability,
potential accuracy and ease of use. Thus, the first paper provides
a brief overview and the second an indication of those aspects of
combustion which should influence the choice of flow property to be
measured and the technique to be used.
Much has been said and written about the abilities of modern
instrumentation to help solve problems of combustion in engines. In
the main, however, the design and fabr ication of combustion
chambers continues to be based on extrapolation of exper ience
gained from use and rig tests, with little input from advanced
techniques such as those based on optical diagnotics. At the same
time, it has become increasingly difficult to design better
combustion chambers without knowledge of the relevant flow
processes. Thus, the future must involve improved understanding
which, in turn, will require detailed measurements of velocity,
temperature and concentration. The need to narrow the gap between
current industrial practice and the acquisition and implementation
of improved techniques motivated the organization of the Advanced
Study Institute upon which this volume is based. This Institute on
Instrumentation for Combustion and Flow in Engines was arranged to
display the needs of industry and the possibilities made available
by modern instrumentation and, at the same time, to make clear the
relative advantages of optical and probe techniques. Held at
Vimeiro during the period from 13 to 26 September, 1987, the
Institute was attended by 120 participants and 16 invited
lecturers.
