EXPERIMENTS IN TURBULENT FLAMES: FROM INDUSTRIAL TO LABORATORY SCALE

ABSTRACT
This paper reviews measurements obtained in turbulent flames and the consequent understanding on the fundamental processes of the flow, mixing and combustion in turbulent reacting flows. The flames considered range from large industrial flames in production glass furnaces and boilers to model-scale experiments, which are the result of a combined research effort in order to accomplish with the need of cleaner combustion strategies for the sustainable development.
