Influence of turbulent fluctuation on reconstruction of temperature profile in axisymmetric free flames

An iteration method is extended to analyze the influences of the turbulent fluctuation on the reconstruction of Reynolds time-averaged temperature in turbulent axisymmetric free flames when the temperature profiles are retrieved by the low time-resolution data of outgoing emission and transmission radiation intensities. A simplified probability density function is used to simulate the turbulent fluctuation of temperature and absorption coefficient. The effects of turbulent fluctuating intensities on the estimation of the Reynolds time-averaged temperature and absorption coefficient are examined. The results show that the effects of turbulent fluctuation on the reconstruction of time-averaged absorption coefficient are not significant. In the case of weak turbulent fluctuation, the influences of turbulent fluctuation on the estimation of time-averaged temperature profiles are small. But in the case of strong turbulent fluctuation, the influences of turbulent fluctuation on the estimation of time-averaged temperature profiles are significant.
