Turbulent transport processes are critically important for flame stabilization, flame extinction, and product dispersion in flames and fires. These complex reacting flows are often characterized using non-intrusive diagnostics because of the harsh intractable combustion environment. Non-intrusive diagnostic techniques of ever-increasing sophistication are being developed to resolve the stochastic behavior of turbulent reacting flows. Detailed measurements using advanced diagnostics provide valuable data for CFD model development and improved understanding of the turbulent transport process. Professor Marshall is currently implementing advanced laser based and IR diagnostics for investigating turbulent plume dispersion, lean extinction of highly strained premixed flames, and atomization processes in fuel injection and fire suppression devices. A variety of techniques are being applied to these flows including Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF).
