Abstract

The mixing of two air streams doped respectively with NO and O3 in an isothermal turbulent flow and the resulting nonequilibrium chemical reaction have been studied using a recently developed Turbulent Smog Chamber and relatively fast chemiluminescent analysers. Joint probability density functions of reactant concentration, mixture fraction, reaction progress variable, reaction time and perturbation variable together with mean reaction rates are presented and interpreted in the light of preliminary flow characterisation results.
