Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Title | 2-axis traverse for improved optical diagnostics in reacting flow |
| Description | Addition of 2-axis traverse and staging to High Pressure Optical Combustion (HPOC) experimental rig at GTRC to allow for improved optical diagnostics setup, including line of sight methods such as that used in the LIGS technique. This proved essential in allowing for the movement of the LIGS measurement volume within the reacting flow, demonstrated in the accepted ASME paper "Spatial Temperature and Water Molar Concentration Measurements Using Thermal and Electrostrictive Ligs During Operation of a Swirl Burner at Pressure". |
| Type Of Material | Improvements to research infrastructure |
| Year Produced | 2023 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | Accurate spatial measurements in high-pressure/temperature environments utilising optical diagnostic techniques (such as LIGS - the focus of this EPSRC award) |
| Title | Hi-Speed-Particle Imaging Velocimetry in GT combustors |
| Description | Commissioning of the high-speed PIV system on the HPOC experimental rig. For the LIGS project the high-speed diagnostic suite was used for the first time, obtaining flow field measurements within a representative gas turbine combustor for both isothermal and reacting flows. |
