چکیده
This research started on May, 1999 at the committee of turbulent combustion in the Open and Integrated Research Program (OIRP), The Science and Technology Agency (STA). The purpose of the research is to pursue a possibility on smart control of turbulent combustion and to achieve the improvement of combustion efficiency, that on environment and so on. The present feasibility study shows the following points: (1) A strong turbulent flow in a lean mixture provides a distributed flame to reduce NOx; (2) the relation between turbulent structure and combustion becomes clear to achieve an improvement on combustion efficiency; (3) the optical methods such as LIF and PIV are very useful for understanding the turbulent combustion structures; (4) watching CH*, OH*, and NO* species by semi-conductors sensor, it is possible to control the turbulent combustion actively. The future research will perform an active control to develop a control device, and to achieve a high efficiency on combustion under the present study.
