Quantitative, non-intrusive Imaging of Soot Emission from aircraft engines

Description

The development of non-intrusive techniques for the measurement of the exhaust gas flow on aircraft engines is a new challenge for the aviation sector. Very High Bypass Ratio (VHBR) lean burn engines require careful fuel control and optimised staging to minimise non-volatile particulate matter (nvPM) emissions. Variations in fuel flow across injectors will alter the temperature distribution and hence influence nvPM formation and consumption. CIDAR (Combustion species Imaging Diagnostics for Aero-engine Research) supports Rolls-Royce’ efforts to develop technologies required for VHBR engines.
