It demonstrates the first use of high-speed dual-plane orthogonally-polarized stereoscopic-particle image velocimetry (PIV) and synchronized OH planar laser-induced fluorescence in a premixed swirling flame. We use this technique to explore the effects of combustion and longitudinal acoustic forcing on the time...

... premixed prevaporizing-type swirl burner, equipped with a plain jet airblast atomizer, was investigated at various atomizing pressures and combustion air flow rates, using quarls from 0 deg to 60 deg in 15 deg steps. Both the 15 deg and the 30 deg quarls provided a 42% higher lean blowout stability...
