Development steps of 2-color laser-induced fluorescence with MDR-enhanced energy transfer for instantaneous planar temperature measurement of micro-droplets and sprays

[EN] A new method for instantaneous measurement of temperature, size and velocity of micro-droplets has been developed. The method is based on the well-known 2-color laser-induced fluorescence (2cLIF) technique, but uses a pulsed laser for 2-dimensional imaging without motion blur and an adjusted dye mixture for suppression of LIFMDRs by utilizing the MDR-enhanced energy transfer effect. This work presents the development steps that are necessary to verify feasibility of pulsed 2D-2cLIF-EET for micro droplet and hollow-cone spray applications.
