For spray combustion visualization, Mie Scattering is one of the promising methods for measuring the vapor boundary. Peter Frijters (TUe) use Ar+ laser as a light source while Lama M. Itani (IFPEN) using White LED as a light source. Could anyone kindly give me some general guidelines for Mie scattering optical arrangement? Both arrangements are attached here.
hi, as far as i know, normaly Mie-scattering is used for measuring liquid phase. if you want to measure the vapor phase, Schlieren technique is one of the options. I do not know why does Peter Frijters use so complicated setup to do the Mie-scattering. Usually we use similar setup as IFPEN to measure the liquid length. It does not matter you use the LED or laser or other kinds of lamps as the light source, as long as the intensity is strong enough
Thanks a lot, sorry for my mistake. Yes, Mie scattering is used for measuring liquid boundary whether schlieren/shadowgraph is used for measuring the vapour+liquid penetration length. Could you kindly suggest me some appropriate material to study about mie scattering arrangement for liquid length measurement?
Do you know ECN(Engine Combustion Network)? I attach the website as follows, I think you can get what you want from it.
